Théâtre Jean Renoir e. V. is a French-language amateur theatre company in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Founded in 2004, it stages a production of contemporary French drama every year, aiming to bring together a francophone and francophile audience.[1]
History
The company grew out of the Atelier Jean Renoir, a theatre workshop at the French lycée in Munich (today the Lycée Jean Renoir) for teachers and upper-school students, led by a literature teacher, an art teacher and a professional actor. For more than 20 years the workshop introduced students to notable dramatic texts; it won first prize in an inter-school drama competition in Versailles, ahead of the French lycées of Saint Petersburg and London, with a collage of French theatre characters from four centuries. In 2004 the former literature teacher, Valérie Weidenfeld, founded the Théâtre Jean Renoir as an independent company.[1]
Repertoire
The company concentrates on contemporary French dramatists, including Yasmina Reza and Jean Anouilh. Its 2026 production, Politiquement correct, had a run of more than twenty performances in April and May 2026.[1][2][3]
