Studio de l'Ermitage

La Colline – théâtre national is the latest of the five French national theatres dedicated to drama and entirely supported by the Ministry of Culture, together with La Comedie Francaise, L'Odeon, and the Theatre National de Chaillot in Paris and the TNS in Strasbourg. It is one of the most important cultural institutions located in the East of Paris. About a dozen productions are presented each season in the two theatres including 3 to 4 home-productions, several co-productions with theatre companies and a few shows produced by theatre companies welcomed by La Colline, some of which are presented in their original language with French subtitles. Between 250 and 300 performances are presented each season, often followed by provincial tours. The annual attendance oscillates between an audience of 80 000 and 100 000.
