French theatre shows for international venues

TDLC Production is the production company of the Théâtre de la Clarté, a 200-seat theatre near Paris (Boulogne-Billancourt). Our shows are created and performed in our own venue, then tour across France, Europe, the Middle East and beyond.

All our shows are performed in French: ideal for French and French-speaking schools abroad, French institutes, Alliances françaises and French-speaking audiences.

You can write to us in English or in French.

How it works

  1. 01

    Watch

    We send you the show’s press kit, technical rider, photos and, in most cases, the full video recording.

  2. 02

    Agree

    One date, several shows in a day or a whole tour: we sign a performance contract (contrat de cession) with you.

  3. 03

    Travel

    We plan the journey, accommodation and schedule with you. Our children’s shows travel light: one or two actors and a technician.

  4. 04

    Perform

    1 h 30 set-up, 1 h take-down. Children’s shows exist in a full-stage version and a version for rooms without stage equipment.

More than 300 schools, local authorities and organisations have already booked our shows, for more than 400 performances.

  • French schools abroad
  • French-speaking schools
  • French institutes (Instituts français)
