The facade of La Colline theater features a massive, sharply angled concrete overhang that creates a permanent slice of shadow over the sidewalk. This building serves as one of the national theaters of France, dedicated specifically to contemporary drama. Its history began in nineteen eighty-eight when the government chose this spot to host avant-garde playwrights who needed a space for experimental work. Jorge Lavelli directed the inaugural season here, establishing a reputation for challenging productions that continues to shape the program today.
