⚠ Attention – Important Information ⚠
Before sending us your proposal, please take into account the following information:
-
Check if your show can adapt to the technical conditions and dimensions of our room: our technical sheet
-
Note that acoustically, your shows cannot exceed 100 dB. The room is acoustically insulated just enough for the human voice and acoustic musical instruments (example: acoustic guitar, flute, etc.). Thus, it is impossible for us to host shows with amplified or percussion instruments (example: electric guitar, drums, etc.) or which use bass in the pre-recorded soundtracks.
-
The Theater of the Oppressed does not purchase performances of shows. We work in co-production: 50% of the revenue for the hosted company, 50% of the revenue for the Theater. There is no guaranteed minimum.
-
The room has no wings on the sides and the back of the stage. The back of the room is a rough stone wall. The floor is concrete (there is no dance floor). The public entrance is on the stage area.
-
Our technical director is there during the set-up and dismantling of the shows, but does not provide the management. Each company must arrive with its own manager.
-
Our programming consists of theater shows, any other type of show can be considered only for the MigrActions Festival.
