The opening of La Chaufferie during the European Heritage Days will be an opportunity to open the venue to the Ile-de-France public, often eager to learn more about the history and aesthetics of the DCA Company directed by choreographer Philippe Decouflé.
Built in 1952 by the architect André Lurçat, this thermal plant was used for a long time to supply the city of Saint-Denis with heating. In 1993, at the invitation of Patrick Braouezec, then mayor of Saint-Denis, Philippe Decouflé and his dance company, DCA, invested the place, which had become obsolete. Important work was then undertaken to transform the large concrete cube into a theatre box.
This atypical artistic space located in Saint-Denis will be open to the public on Saturday, September 16 from noon with the program: guided tours of La Chaufferie every hour from 2pm to 6pm, strolls within the aesthetics of the company with installations, sets and video archives throughout the afternoon. A thrift shop and a refreshment bar will complete this beautiful festive program!
Guided tours will take place every hour at 2pm, 3pm, 4pm and 5pm.
