Les Deux Scènes - Le Théâtre Ledoux & L'Espace

Les 2 Scènes was born out of the merger of the Théâtre de l'Espace, located in the heart of a priority district of Besançon, and the Théâtre musical, located in the city centre. The former, now L'Espace, has 2 modular spaces with 400 and 120 seats, while the latter, Théâtre Ledoux, has a 1,000-seat Italian-style theatre. The whole is complemented by Le Kursaal, which hosts an 'art house' cinema programme. Far from being an obstacle, this spatial distribution echoes the desire to circulate audiences, mix aesthetics and stimulate ideas within a conurbation of 200,000 inhabitants. The challenge is also to increase the number of opportunities for artists and audiences to meet, both in the theatre and in the field, to make the theatre a collective experience.
