Le Carré Sainte-Maxime

Le Carré Sainte-Maxime – A Nationally Recognized Center for the Performing Arts
Nestled in the heart of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, along one of the Mediterranean’s most stunning coastlines, Le Carré Sainte-Maxime offers a vibrant and diverse program that spans all forms of live performance — theater, dance, circus, music and comedy.
Each season, from late September to mid-May, the theater hosts over a hundred performances featuring renowned artists from across France and around the world. Its programming blends contemporary works with global influences, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of the Var region — a land shaped over time by encounters, exchanges and shared traditions.
With a commitment to both artistic excellence and broad accessibility, Le Carré Sainte-Maxime creates a unique fusion of world-class stagecraft and genuine community spirit. It fosters close connections with local audiences, celebrates festive and playful gatherings, and continually reimagines ways for people to experience and create art together.
Throughout the year, Le Carré brings a dynamic rhythm of cultural life to the community, inviting all generations to come together and imagine a future that is creative, inclusive and sustainable. Children and young people are placed at the center of this vision, seen not just as spectators but as essential contributors to the cultural dialogue.
Dedicated to nurturing future audiences, Le Carré Sainte-Maxime runs an extensive program specially designed for younger spectators. Through a thoughtful blend of “education through art” and “education about art,” it aims to spark critical thinking, civic awareness, and a deeper consciousness in children, teenagers and young adults. In addition to its general programming, Le Carré offers performances tailored to young audiences, an expansive arts education initiative and strong partnerships with schools and educational institutions — affirming its role as a committed partner to childhood and youth.
