L’Œuvre theatre — Marseille
Scenography and stage equipment for the refurbishment and extension of the theatre.
In the heart of the Belsunce district, the Théâtre de l’Œuvre — a small Italian-style theatre with rococo-baroque decor — is becoming a cultural and civic third place. The refurbishment-and-extension scheme, led by the LAND practice for the association La Paix, reorganises 927 m² around a modular performance hall, an artists’ residence and new workspaces.
Scenarchie designed the scenography and the stage equipment. Three motorised mobile platforms allow the room to shift from a raked layout of 168 to 179 seats to a flat floor holding 280 people for concerts.
The hall also gains a 70 m² raised stage area, motorised beams, a network of walkways, complete stage services — lighting, sound, video, DMX, Ethernet —, new seating and drapes.
