Théâtre Débat turns disagreement into live theater
A Lyon-based company stages public debates, oral contests, historical controversies, and speaking workshops as participatory performances.
Field notes
The company organizes debate as a staged sequence rather than an informal panel: positions may be assigned by lot, rounds are timed, and a jury or audience decides the result. Its menu includes cultural discussions around books or exhibitions, historical disagreements replayed by actors and historians, and workshops covering posture, breathing, argument structure, and verbal response. The homepage also describes a custom package with question development, staging, moderation, and recording.
