The theatre: A place steeped in history

30 January 2020

First hospital of the city in 1071, the place became over the course of history concert hall, cinema and finally theater / concert hall from 1929 to 1971.

The theater had a facelift in 2003 and at the same time offered its first cultural program under the Scènes Mitoyennes.
The auditorium has been redesigned to offer 700 very comfortable seats and a larger stage.

The architecture of the building combines both old stones and a contemporary spirit to offer the public a place steeped in history. Thus, the Saint Julien chapel offers a classic perspective which contrasts with the modern materials of the entrance hall, just like the second room of the 96-seat theater - a former tithe barn dating from the 15th century - reminds us of the richness of the Cambrésian heritage.
