Théâtre Fémina
Created between 1919 and 1921, Théatre Fémina's first vocation was that of a theater and an auditorium.
But in the 19th century at this location, the people of Bordeaux had a shed for post horses that could accommodate 14 animals, their grooms and coachmen. As the teams became rare, the place became a car garage then a public auction house, before turning into a theater after the war of 14-18!
This magnificent room, opened in 1921, is today exclusively dedicated to theatrical performances. However, until the end of the 1970s, the Fémina also hosted cinematographic projections in its room with its 1200-seat balcony.
In 1977, the Théâtre Fémina returned to its initial destination as a performance hall where theater, operetta, comedy, dance, classical music and variety are performed. The facade is columned and the interior is a very Bordeaux blend of Louis XVI style and Art Deco. The dome ceiling is by Gustave Larée, painter student of Bonnat, Prix de Rome in 1895. The character of Pierrot is in glory, music and dance triumph.
Open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
