COMÉDIE-FRANÇAISE is a national theatre that tours every season, both in France and abroad, and has so far performed in nearly 80 countries, a tradition that dates to its origins. Comédie-Française’s troupe is the oldest active in the world. This organisation is anchored by the Société des Comédiens-Français, which was established in 1681 and ensures the preservation and advancement of its art. Their motto Simul et singulis means “to be together and to be oneself” and represents the functioning of the organisation: a place with an abundance of creativity and perpetual renewal, which also serves as a conservatory of the arts of expression, a space of ripening and a hearth of creation. With about thirty productions staged each season in its three Parisian theatres and on tour – with sets mostly built in its own workshops – Comédie-Française is a hive with over 70 different jobs performed by nearly 450 people, including around sixty actors and actresses. The spectrum of professions extends from the craft trades to administration, forming a “micro-society” where traditional techniques and latest technologies mix. Comédie-Française presents theatres from all eras, French and foreign, by alternating classical and contemporary repertoire.
