COMPAGNIE LES PANATHENEES is founded in Arles with a clear mission: to democratize the theatrical experience. Our inaugural performance, held in a local community center, sets the stage for a decade of accessible art.

We launch our first major cultural action program, bringing interactive workshops to diverse neighborhoods. The repertoire expands to include contemporary interpretations of classical texts, sparking new community dialogues.

A landmark year as we partner with local educational institutions. We introduce participatory theatre projects where citizens of Arles become co-creators, blurring the lines between audience and performer.

Facing unprecedented global challenges, the company adapts swiftly. We pioneer digital readings and intimate, socially-distanced outdoor micro-performances, ensuring the cultural heartbeat of the community remains strong.

Returning to the main stage with renewed vigor, we debut a critically acclaimed production that perfectly encapsulates our neo-classical aesthetic—blending raw, historical Arlesian elements with fluid modern staging.

Celebrating ten years of artistic sharing and collective reflection. We look forward to the future, continuing our commitment to making theatre a vital, inclusive force within Arles and beyond.
