Théâtre Toursky

What Théâtre Toursky does

Théâtre Toursky was a performing arts theater operating from a single venue at 16 passage Léo Ferré in Marseille's 13003 district, France. Founded in 1971 by Richard Martin, it was legally constituted as a non-profit association — Association Compagnie Richard Martin Théâtre Toursky — under French law. The theater presented a diverse program of live performances spanning burlesque, cabaret, chanson française, jazz and jazz manouche, classical and world music, acrobatic circus, comedy (including satirical, political, police, and historical), stand-up, humorous conferences, Hip Hop dance, Flamenco, and theatrical productions including Molière-recognized solo performances. Programming was organized into seasonal cycles, the last being the 2024/2025 season.

The business model was direct-to-consumer: spectators purchased individual tickets to attend shows at the physical venue. Revenue was derived solely from ticket sales, with no disclosed sponsorship, rental, or ancillary income streams, and pricing was not publicly disclosed. The theater employed between 11 and 50 people and served the local Marseille metropolitan audience. Distribution was entirely through on-premise attendance, with the company website functioning as the primary marketing channel via an online event calendar.

The association was formally liquidated on May 20, 2025. All remaining 2024/2025 season programming was cancelled, and ticket-holders were directed to file creditor claims through the appointed liquidator Maître de Carrière's web portal. No institutional investors, parent entities, subsidiaries, partnerships, patents, or technology assets were associated with the company.
