International Visual Théâtre
7 Cité Chaptal, 75009 Paris
IVT International Visual Theatre is a laboratory for artistic, linguistic and pedagogical research on sign language, visual and body arts. At the same time theater, publishing house, place of artistic creation and sign language school, IVT is a cultural crossroads, a space for exchanges and discoveries for the deaf and hearing. In the 18th century, this building was first a chapel. In 1895, it becomes a theater that takes the name of Théâtre-Salon, then which knows its hours of glory from 1897 to 1962 as the Grand-Guignol theater, playing on laughter and horror. The building then became the rehearsal and performance hall of the Rue Blanche school (ENSAT) until 1997\. In 2004, IVT obtains this place and undertakes major works. The theater is inaugurated in January 2007\. Today, the facade (restored in 2010) and 4 paintings by Alfred Choubrac dating from the end of the 19th century remain.
