The award of this designation recognizes the quality of the program of actions developed by the Olympia Theatre outside its walls, in the communes of the Arcachon Basin: seasonal programming, support for artists' creative work through the organization of residency time, cultural actions linked to the presence of these artists and open to all populations. Linked to the project of the director of the Olympia Theatre, Benoît Dissaux, this designation is awarded for a period of four years covering the period 2021-2024.
As a participant in the national policy of support for artistic creation, the programme of conventioned scenes of national interest (SCIN) plays an essential role in the accompaniment and presence of artists, the dissemination of their works at the national level, contributing to the development and artistic and cultural diversity of the territories.
