The beautifully restored Théâtre de La Gaîté lyrique, is an experimental laboratory of all forms of cutting edge, pulsating, bleeping, digital arts, film, design, theater, performance, games, programming and music.

You can come here to visit eclectic exhibitions, see performances and concerts, play the latest computer games, hang out in the library with hundreds of arts magazines, visit the shop that offers 200 selected original digital products like a wicked mini stylophone beatbox or robot music synthesizers, or just sip a coffee at the modernist cafe under sci-fi chandeliers.

Studios are offered for artists equipped with the newest computer technology and there is a spacious auditorium for screenings and talks hosting the best in foreign digital culture. La Gaîté describes itself as a meeting place for technology, art and people at the crossroads of all artistic disciplines exploring a new dimension, which is being created right before our eyes. Definitely worth a visit if you feel like plunging into a brave new world right amidst some classy napoleonic facades. You can also keep an eye on their Vimeo channel for the latest happenings.
