Alimentation générale

Located at the bottom of a gallo-roman tower, smack in the historical middle of the town, in one of the smallest streets in Bayonne. Being actually the lung of this beautiful area in the left bank, at the beggining it could not expect to a national or regional recognition and gratitude, but now it does.

The plan is to assert itself as a place of artistic production nationally recognized, in one or another field of contemporary art. More than a hundred of shows including theatre, music and dance and twenty two records which have come into existence with the National Scene Bayonne contest, since its creation in 1990! Seven shows were received in 2010, co-produced by the national Scene, some of them created at the Bayonne theatre: Diaspora bidalan by the Theatre du Versant, the "journal à quatre mains" by the Argula Theatre, High Dolls by the Pagaï Opera, Le Ciel est pour tous by the Theatre de l'Est Parisien...

Diffusion, subscriptions, ticket prices: to organize and and compare artistic forms giving priority to contemporary creation. Artistic dissemination is the most important part of the work of the national Scene. In order to realise it, a lot of work has to be called up. The season composition tries an equilibrium between the desire of the audience, the will to suggest new artists,and the worrying about giving priority to contemporary creation, less known in the region. That is why the subscription composition invites spectators to discovery.  The shows are divided in three categories (A, B, C). It is up to the subscriber to choose an equal number of shows in each category. Six options of subscription are proposed, from three spectacles to twelve, allowing a high reduction of ticket prices, comparing it with full fare.

The season card or "young season", necessarily taken out with subscriptions, can also be taken out without subscription. It allows the non-suscriber to have a significant discount.
