Théâtre Marigny
Initially built in the early 1800s and used by Offenbach, then destroyed to make way for a panorama built by Charles Garnier (the architect of Paris' opera house), the building as we know it dates from 1894 and currently belongs to François Pinault (he whose son is now married to Selma Hayak). The theatre contains one large auditorium for over 1,000 people and a smaller 311-seater called - quaintly - Popesco, after deceased French actress and previous manager of the theatre, Elvire Popesco.
The theatre is also used occasionally for concerts (recent groups include Goldfrapp and America). Backstage tours of the theatre can be organised for groups of fifteen people or more (contact www.purplebeam.com).
Upon the invite of the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, he has dreamed up an original exhibition on childhood. Come and discover this virtuoso’s creations in his paintings, films, incongruous objects, sets and terrific fantasy machines.
Takeshi Kitano, a.k.a. Beat Takeshi, is a famous film-maker, actor, TV presenter and painter whose entire work explores a bitter-sweet world marked by nostalgia for childhood.
