Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord
The Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord is a theater in Paris that is located next to the Gare du Nord .
Opened in 1876, the theater with 530 seats was built according to the plans of the French architect Émile Leménil on a site on which a barracks should originally have been built. In the first ten years it had at least fifteen artistic directors, the most notable of which was Olga Léaud, who took over the theater after a production was canceled. The theater was revived as a ballet theater for a short time in 1885 , but this orientation was given up again in 1886. Then it was directed by two actors, Emmanuel Clot and G. Dublay.
In 1904 it was completely restored, repainted and electrified. It was renamed Théâtre Molière , not to be confused with the historic Théâtre Molière , and Arthur Bernède and Gaston Leroux began writing pieces for it. Like many other Parisian theaters, it closed in August 1914.
By 1974 the theater was used by many different companies, but none was able to renovate it and bring it up to date with more recent safety standards.
The British director Peter Brook took over the management in 1974 and settled his theater group there. After 34 years, Brook gave his theater to younger hands.
