A Theater Compagny

The Premier Acte Theatre Company was founded out of the need to tell the stories of our time and to show that the theatre could be a place to learn vigilance and clear-sightedness. Since Avril, in 1985, a play about genocide observed from France, Sarkis Tcheumlekdjian has consistently shown his leaning towards contemporary writing and plays. Most of his theatrical adaptations are inspired by human content of novels, and the universality of poetry. So far, twenty-one of his twenty-seven productions come from original or unpublished works.

In addition the Company has been running a school since the year 2000. The Ecole Premier Acte offers amateur workshops, an Acting Apprenticeship Course and an Acting Studio for professional actors. And its aim is to open its doors to ever more people.
