Michel Favory / Paul Claudel

Last season, during the Grenier des acteurs (The Actors’ Attic), the public discovered the Cupola of the Salle Richelieu, a cocoon-shaped space sheltered under the roof of the theatre. These encounters with an actor from the Troupe gave voice to all forms of writing in the intimacy of this setting conducive to stimulating the imagination. This season, in addition to the Grenier des acteurs, there will be two new series of events: the Grenier des poètes (The Poets’ Attic) and Grenier des maîtres (The Master Craftsmen’s Attic).

The Actors’ Attic
Mirroring the Actor Schools evenings during which actors from the Troupe talk about their careers, in these events the Comédiens-Français speak to the audience about their favourite books.
