The Théâtre des Halles - scene d'Avignon, is located in the heart of the city, in the former 14th-century Cloître Sainte-Claire. Historians claim that this is where Petrarch met Laure de Noves. In the early 80s, the site was converted into a theater.

The Théâtre des Halles - Avignon is a permanent venue for the creation and dissemination of contemporary writing.

Alexandra Timár and her team are committed to defending a form of theater that is open to all, in tune with current issues, and capable of building bridges between the great works of the repertory and the vitality of the younger generation of playwrights and directors.
The creations of Alain Timár, founder of the Théâtre des Halles, the annual program of shows, the artists' residencies, the cultural and artistic education initiatives carried out with local cultural operators, have built the identity of the venue and enabled its regional, national and international influence.
