Le Safran

Le Safran - scène conventionnée is a place in constant turmoil in the heart of a world district. A meeting place between the inhabitants and contemporary creation, Le Safran - Scène conventionnée is a space for exchange, sharing and creation animated by a home-grown spirit.

Safran's programming, which is both accessible and demanding, is resolutely turned towards the elsewhere, and combines both a mix of genres and cultural pluralism. In addition to the theatre, in which some thirty shows are presented each season, Le Safran has an exhibition hall, the Carré Noir, an Art Centre and numerous multi-purpose rooms used to give courses in artistic practices (drawing, painting, ceramics, dance...) or for artists in artistic residencies.

Many highlights punctuate Safran's cultural season: The Safra'Numériques - a week of immersion and discovery of digital arts and new technologies, the Second Souffle festival - which explores the links between art and sport, and finally Safran'chir - which looks at the world we live in today by highlighting the close links between the stage and current events.
