Théâtre de la Manufacture - CDN Nancy Lorraine
Established on the Manufacture site in May 1986, it was under the direction of Anne Delbée (1987 to 1991) that the Théâtre de la Manufacture obtained the CDN label, followed by Charles Tordjman (1992 to 2010), Michel Didym (2010 to 2020) and Julia Vidit (2021).
“The future of theater belongs to those who don’t go to the theatre”, this phrase by Gabriel Garran guides Julia Vidit in the project she wishes to implement for the theater: an open, responsible theater, in touch with the world, inhabited by artists, going beyond the walls and addressing young people.
