Théâtre en Mai

A festival dedicated to theatrical emergence

Created in 1990 by François Le Pillouër, Théâtre en Mai is the highlight of the Théâtre Dijon Bourgogne, a National Dramatic Center. For two weeks, the festival highlights young companies and emerging creators, while opening its doors to international and multidisciplinary creation.

A space for discovery and meeting

Théâtre en Mai aims to be a place of discovery where the Dijon public can meet artists, attend new creations, and participate in debates. The festival takes over the TDB's stages but also other cultural venues in the city and urban spaces, thus creating theatrical effervescence throughout Dijon.

An international opening

Over the years, Théâtre en Mai has opened up to international creation, welcoming companies from Europe and around the world. This international dimension enriches artistic dialogue and allows the public to discover various aesthetics and stage languages. Radio en Mai, a participatory radio project produced by amateurs, complements this dynamic.
