The Coupole is like a cocoon above the Salle Richelieu where we usually welcome a hundred or so spectators throughout the season who come to experience an enchanted interlude with the actors of the Troupe or artists who are great masters in their field.
On the occasion of the Molière 2022 programme, the Illustre Grenier will be entirely dedicated to the Patron. Readings, talks and events will be all so many opportunities to evoke the figure of Molière, to explore his oeuvre and discuss the character as well as his literary and tangible heritage.
