Table ronde, Histoire récente du théâtre décentralisé en métropole de Lille | Espace Culture, Université de Lille

Theater
Yannic Mancel and Maxence Cambron highlight the belated yet impactful decentralization of the theater scene in Lille and its surroundings, which unfolded in the 1970s and 1980s. This transformation, spurred by key figures like Michel Guy, Jack Lang, and François Mitterrand, laid the groundwork for the vibrant performing arts landscape that local artists and residents benefit from today. The region boasts two dramatic centers, seven national stages, as well as subsidized companies and creative hubs supported by the Drac and the Regional Council. Three decades later, the enduring legacy of this cultural renaissance is the focal point of a roundtable discussion moderated by Maxence Cambron, an esteemed Arts of Spectacle lecturer at the University of Lille, and Yannic Mancel, a seasoned artistic and literary advisor at Théâtre du Nord. Join this insightful dialogue at Espace Culture, Université de Lille, on April 10, 2024, in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, to delve into the recent history of decentralized theater in the Lille metropolis. Admission to this event is free of charge.
