L'Improvidence
Cafe-theater
Last updated date : 21/11/2025
France's first theater entirely dedicated to improvisation, offers an eclectic program to give you a unique, interactive experience every evening.
In our intimate 50-seat theater, you can experience improv up close: high-energy improv battles, daring group or solo performances, formats combining drawing or music, evenings in English... Each performance is a fleeting creation in which you, too, become an actor. An evening, a show, a unique experience.
But L'Improvidence is not just about shows: it is also a school open to everyone, from curious beginners to experienced actors. Workshops, courses, educational programs... here you learn to unleash your creativity, gain confidence, and dare to be bold. Improvisation becomes a playground and a powerful tool for expression.
Companies also find a committed partner here: seminars, team building, tailor-made training... Thanks to the tools of improv, we help teams strengthen their cohesion, develop their communication, and stimulate their imagination.
Whether you come to laugh, learn, experiment, or surpass yourself, L'Improvidence opens its doors to you and promises you an unforgettable experience.
