A cultural establishment of the City of Paris devoted entirely to the digital arts.
Inaugurated ten years ago, this cultural establishment of the City of Paris is entirely dedicated to the digital arts. It is housed in a former theater built in 1862 and once directed by Jacques Offenbach. Lucien Guitry, the Ballets Russes, Luis Mariano, Patrice Chéreau and the Paris Opera Ballet all performed here, before Silvia Monfort transformed it into a cultural center called Nouveau Carré for a time in the mid-1970s. Taken over by the short-lived Planète Magique theme park in 1989, the theater remained unoccupied for twenty years. Only the facade, entrance and first-floor foyer remain original. In place of the old auditorium, almost bare spaces have been created where artists using digital techniques can express themselves as freely as possible. There are also two modular performance rooms and an auditorium. La Gaîté Lyrique's imaginative programming is full of surprises, making it one of the capital's most sought-after cultural venues. Through exhibitions, performances, concerts and other events that have yet to be named because they are absolutely new, it combines different disciplines: music, graphic design, cinema, video, theater, dance, fashion, design, architecture, video games... in short, a complete palette of possibilities! Free access includes a resource center, a video game testing room, two cafés and a boutique.
