Following a call for applications issued in April 2022 by the City of Paris, La Gaîté Lyrique is beginning a new chapter in its history with a project led by a unique alliance between five partners: Arty Farty, Arte France, makesense, SINGA, Actes Sud. The project, Factory of our times, combines creation and social engagement to address pressing cultural, social, democratic and climate issues. It’s a springboard for putting ideas into practice and bringing stories to life. Factory of our times fosters artistic creation and the spread of ideas, empowers people, breaks down barriers, moves in new directions and builds fresh impetus.
