Théâtre de la Cité internationale

What Théâtre de la Cité internationale does

Théâtre de la Cité internationale is a performing arts theater founded in 1986 and located at the Cité internationale de Paris campus in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, France. The organization operates a single venue offering a programmed slate of live theatrical performances, cultural events, and artistic productions, with a current Saison 26/27 programming package covering the 2026-2027 season. Its core products are the main theater programming, Le Café du Théâtre (an on-site bar-restaurant), Location d'espaces (venue rental for external events and private functions), and the Résident·es Cité residency program for artists associated with the Cité internationale campus. Distribution is handled through an external online ticketing platform (theatredelacite.notre-billetterie.com) for consumer ticket sales and direct sales for venue rentals.

The theater serves two primary customer segments: general theater audiences seeking live performing-arts experiences, and residents of the Cité internationale — a campus-based international community that benefits from dedicated programming and resident services. Marketing is conducted primarily through organic social channels (Facebook and Instagram), an email newsletter, and a dedicated press section for media relations. The organization is privately operated as a cultural institution with no public listing, employs 19 staff, and reports no disclosed revenue. Revenue mechanics appear to rely on a standard French cultural-institution mix — ticket sales, venue-rental fees, bar-restaurant income, and likely public/campus subsidies — though no funding details are publicly disclosed. Ownership and formal incorporation status are not stated in available source data.

Broad incumbents

• Théâtre de la Colline: National theater in Paris presenting contemporary theatrical productions. Comparable as an institutional venue operator but publicly subsidized at a far larger scale.
• Théâtre national de Chaillot: National theater presenting dance, theater, and performance in a large Paris venue. Comparable as a French institutional performing-arts venue but materially larger and federally funded.
• Théâtre du Châtelet: Large historic Parisian theater staging musicals, opera, and concerts. Comparable as a single-venue Parisian show operator, but with substantially higher capacity and production scale.
• Théâtre de l'Odéon: One of France's five national theaters with a much larger footprint, subsidized programming, and international touring. Comparable as a Paris theater venue with bilingual programming but operates at significantly greater scale.

Direct peers

• Théâtre de l'Atelier: Parisian theater presenting a mix of contemporary and classic productions in Montmartre. Comparable as an independent mid-sized theater operator with programming-driven business model.
• Théâtre de la Ville: Long-established Parisian performing-arts venue offering theater, dance, and music programming to a broad local and international audience. Directly comparable as a single-venue theater operator in Paris competing for similar audiences and producers.
• Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord: Independent Paris theater venue with an international programming focus and a distinctive heritage building. Comparable as a single-venue operator offering diverse performing arts in a non-traditional venue setting.
• Théâtre de Poche Montparnasse: Small Parisian theater operating a single stage with rotating programming. Closely comparable in scale, single-venue operating model, and focus on theatrical performance.
• Le Monfort Théâtre: Single-venue Parisian theater presenting contemporary performance and circus arts. Comparable as a mid-sized independent venue with a programming-led operating model in Paris.

Regional players

• Maison de la Culture de Seine-Saint-Denis (MC93): Publicly funded performing-arts venue in the Paris suburbs (Île-de-France) presenting contemporary theater and dance. Comparable in function but serves a different sub-regional catchment.
