At the time of its creation in 1951, the Théâtre de Poche held its first performances in a host house at the Avenue Louise, before settling down at the rue d'Ixelles, in a former showroom. In 1963, the Théâtre de Poche had to leave and was welcomed in the National Theatre.

During the winter of 1966 the Théâtre de Poche established in the heart of the Bois de la Cambre, in the Chalet of the Gymnasium, that was built around 1870.

The place became property of the City 50 years after its foundation, in the 1920s. Then, the Chalet of the Gymnasium kept its function of restaurant, and welcomed a club of petanque in its appendices.

In 1997, the City of Brussels decided on the reconstruction of the Chalet of the Gymnasium, which is now technically much better equipped.

The Théâtre de Poche and the City of Brussels

Although few people are really aware of it, the Bois de la Cambre is a part of the administrative territory of the City of Brussels. It is thus important for the City to support the cultural activities which take place there. The Théâtre de Poche is the ideal representative at the level of dramatic art.

The Théâtre de Poche wants to promote the search and the experiment in dramatic art. It also organizes performances illustrating this search.
