A European theatre

The cultural identity of the Europeans is multiple, complex, contradictory – and yet, as recognizable as the red thread that runs throughout our history. Giorgio Strehler

The Odéon-Théâtre de l’Europe has played a leading role in the fight for a certain ideal of European culture. An ideal which is still largely inspired by values inherited from the Enlightment, but needs today to be rethought and reinvented in the light of the present. These efforts form an important part of our activities.
