About us

Inspired by André Antoine, Théâtre Libre means simply,  free theatre.

This is exactly what the company strives to create; theatre for everyone free from the constraints of class, status, or censorship.

Founded in 2009, we use high levels of physicality to re-introduce classics, questioning and exploring their relevance in modern society.

“...this company who specialise(s), amongst other things, in innovative takes on the classics.”  Remote Goat

“Théâtre Libre, a company born in 2009 that specializes in physical theatre, was no doubt going to set its own bar pretty high (...) a well-executed and certainly innovative performance of an all-time classic by Théâtre Libre. Well worth seeing.”    Everything Theatre
