Théâtre l’Envol

Théâtre l’Envol is the new municipal theatre in Berre-l’Étang, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department. Designed by Marseille-based architectural practice Leteissier-Corriol, the 1,650 m2 building is structured around a large auditorium enclosed within an elliptical structure. Protected from the mistral wind, a sheltered forecourt rounds out the venue, which occupies the town’s former airfield as part of a wider development that also includes an urban park, swimming pool, school and sports complex.

The programme caters to all ages, encompassing theatre, dance, contemporary circus, magic, comedy, concerts and family shows. The venue also hosts events such as the Printemps des Minots festival, as well as associations and amateur groups outside the main season. Run directly by the municipality, Théâtre l’Envol complements Berre’s cultural offering alongside the media library, Ciné 89 and the Forum de Berre. Ticketing is shared with the latter, with three pricing categories and a choice of subscription packages.
