Scene nanational
Bringing together the former houses of culture (early 1960s), centres of cultural action (from 1967) and centres of cultural development (from 1975), the network of national stages was unified by this label in 1991. Today there are 76 of them, spread over the entire national territory, the vast majority in medium-sized cities with a population of 50 to 200,000.The national stages offer the public a multidisciplinary program in the field of live performance and, for places with adapted spaces, plastic arts and cinema, reflecting the main currents of contemporary artistic production. They offer artists the means to carry out their research and creative work and offer the population of the establishment’s area an ambitious and diversified cultural action. They also provide advice, guidance and training to professionals and future professionals who work or intend to work with artists and the population.
