1. We can go without breaking the bank
In 12 yearsthe city theater became an essential place of culture in Nice. Run by artistsfrom the Miranda company, the Théâtre de la Cité is a place where you can discover a lot of different shows, without breaking the bank. In general, full price tickets are around 15 €. For 15-18 year olds, all the shows offered are in the Culture pass (the €300 credit offered to all young people).
2. We can see headliners
Thierry Surace is the President of the theater and quotes in the programming “every reason to laugh, to cry, to feel alive, deeply human”. That is. We will therefore watch Françoise by Sagan Friday October 7 with Caroline Loeb (it’s the Ouate) and staged by Alex Lutz. From texts of her interviews, Caroline Loeb weaves a sensitive monologue, the show has been named best solo on stage at Molières 2018.
We can also find Laura Laune. With a new show eagerly awaited (its first tour sold out over 500 performances, audiences are thought to be waiting for the sequel). The Belgian comedian gives two performances of Glory Alleluia on Tuesday 25 and Wednesday 26 October.
Finally, Manu Payet will also be on two dates at the Théâtre de la Cité to present his new show on Friday and Saturday 16 and 17 December. Warming up it’s called, presented in Nice before Paris!
Artists, even the best known, often come to play at least one date in their tour at the City Theatre. Cécile Pillot from the City Theater Explain “As we are all artists in the team, we welcome artists like artists. That is to say, there is a very warm welcome. We pamper them. We know a lot of little things, little details, what they like, what they don’t like, who is with gluten, without gluten, who also eats, who doesn’t. And so we make personalized welcomes”apparently appreciated.
3.We discover local artists
At the Théâtre de la Cité, we “feels the stage fright of each artist, nestled in a slightly tense mouth, a voice that is released in a slight guttural friction, a drop of sweat saltier than the water of an open sea” says Thierry Surace.
The Théâtre de la Cité gives a chance to local artists. First, his company, Compagnie Miranda, which invent parts (which sometimes go around France, or around the world!)… Thus, we will see the show on Bukowski Thursday 13 and Friday 14 October. A show inspired by the work and life of the poet Charles Bukowski, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century.
The rare, light and spiritual text of the Delicacy will be played on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 October. And Cyrano after Edmond Rostandand played silent film version of the 20s (1900 not 2000) Friday, November 18.
