What health measures have been implemented by theatres?

Empty seats and assigned seats In order to ensure the mandatory safety distance during the performance, many venues are obliged to maintain free seats between spectators. Places are usually assigned even in the case of small concerts with usually free seating. This new measure necessarily leads to a reduction in the capacity of theaters ...	Wearing a mask Wearing a mask is generally compulsory before entering the room. Make sure you always have it with you! Wearing a mask during performances is not systematic. It is essential to follow the directions once on site.
Maintaining safety distances Beyond the performance, you will be asked to ensure that safety distances are maintained in the halls and hallways of theaters.	Disinfected Venues For your safety and before each performance, theatres make sure to disinfect the place.
Find out beforehand! Each venue has its own functioning, regulated by the sanitary measures adopted in each country. Bars and Cloakrooms can be closed. If you have any concerns before attending the performance or booking your tickets, please don't hesitate to contact us for more information by phone : +33 (0)1 53 59 39 29 or by email : BOOKING DEPARTMENT	Hydro alcoholic gel Hydro alcoholic gel will be available at the entrances to theaters and often in all common areas.
