2026-09-15

Located next to the Eiffel Tower, the Théâtre National de Chaillot’s [tay-ATR, na-see-o-NAL day chay-YO] world-class stage will once again be filled with Taiwanese culture. The theater has a long-standing partnership with Taiwan’s arts community, and has hosted performances including Cloudgate Dance Theatre and singer ABAO. Minister of Culture Li Yuan visited the theater for the first time earlier this week. He received a warm welcoming from the theatre’s director, who shared the theatre’s history and announced a collaboration to launch a series of Taiwan-themed events in 2028.

Upon arriving in French dance central, Minister of Culture, Li Yuan, met with the Director and Chairman of Théâtre de Chaillot, Rachid Ouramdane. They happily shook hands and posed for a photo. Ouramdane was impressed by Taiwanese artists and fondly recalls the “Foco-Taiwan” events from 2024.

Under the collaboration of the Taiwan Cultural Center in France and the National Theatre and Concert Hall, dance troupes, singers, and puppet troupes from Taiwan presented a wonderful performance at the Théâtre de Chaillot. The center also hopes to launch another Taiwan-themed arts event in 2028 to strengthen the cultural ties between Taiwan and France.

The Taiwanese artists at the time displayed an unrestrained freedom of expression, perhaps reflecting the characteristics of Taiwanese culture. We are delighted to have invited them to showcase Taiwanese arts and culture. This is a small performance hall; we can also fold the seating to create a larger event space.

The Théâtre National de Chaillot is located within the Palais de Chaillot, the site where United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed. Adjacent to the Eiffel Tower, it offers spectacular views and also houses a mysterious attraction over 120 years old.

The Palais de Chaillot also allegedly boasts one of the world’s oldest escalators, which they claim was built at the same time as the Eiffel Tower, remaining accessible since its completion in 1889.

The historic theater is an important stage for artistic exchange between Taiwan and France. In May 2027, the Taiwan Riverbed Theatre will be invited to present an immersive theatre performance showcasing Taiwan’s soft power in the arts to international audiences.

“當時台灣的藝術家，展現出非常奔放的表達自由，可能是跟台灣文化特性一樣，我們很高興能夠邀請他們，呈現台灣的藝文活力。這裡廳是個小型演出廳，我們也可以把階梯式的座椅收起來，變成一個更大的活動空間。”

夏佑劇場就位在夏佑宮內，曾是聯合國世界人權宣言簽署的地點，緊鄰巴黎鐵塔，透過窗戶能欣賞獨特美景，還藏有一處超過120年的神秘景點。
