Choose the performance and venue first: theatre, dance, music and performance are spread across more than forty venues.
What is confirmed
The edition runs from 11 September to the end of December across theatres, museums and creative venues in Paris and Île-de-France. Theatre, dance, music, performance and visual art coexist: choose a discipline first, then an area and date.
Tickets and booking
A subscription is available from three performances, but every production keeps its own capacity and booking status. An alert is not a ticket; wait for confirmation from the venue box office.
Venue, access and constraints
The festival has no single address. Check the exact venue, time, duration, language, content warnings and return journey. Late performances outside central Paris require a final Metro, RER or bus check.
Who it suits
Best for visitors seeking contemporary French and international creation, and repeat visitors ready to go beyond major monuments. A short first trip is better served by one evening that fits the day’s area.
Trip impact
Book the performance before fixing dinner and the return journey. Group the day by bank or arrondissement; do not add a distant museum immediately before a fixed-time show.
Final check
Programme, cast, surtitles, availability and accessibility can change. Recheck both the performance and venue pages 48 hours before and again on the day.
