Théâtre de Gennevilliers

Trying to find the Théâtre de Gennevilliers? Just follow the arrows. Dreamed up by conceptual artist Daniel Buren, these red and white panels will lead you from the metro station all the way to the venue's front door. They're a suitably playful preview of the torrent of creative activity that awaits you inside: the centre's 'contemporary art' remit takes in everything from cutting-edge theatre and opera (think Oscar Bianchi and Joël Pommerat) to fine art, cinema, literature and even philosophy seminars. A valuable addition to the city's art scene, unfairly overlooked by tourists on account of its banlieue address.
