Educational tours

Right at the heart of an experimental theatre, pupils are given a glimpse behind the scenes and an insight into how shows are put together, both before and after performances – a blend of magic and practicality!

Aimed at secondary school pupils (aged between 12 and 20)

Teaching resources

Each production in the season is accompanied by an educational pack (in french) prepared either by us or by the producing theatre company. Once you have booked your tickets, it will be sent to you around one month before the performance.

Tours

  • Classroom presentations
  • Visits to the Théâtre de Carouge
  • Meetings with the artistic team
  • In-class drama workshop

How do we move from a classic text studied in class to a stage production?
Have we fully grasped the themes explored by the play and the director’s interpretation?

A theatre guide introduces the production, the various theatre professions and the historical context, and reminds the audience of the appropriate behaviour to adopt when attending the performance.

Duration :
