The MC93 is a place for the creation and production of live shows imagined in the late 1960s in the city of Bobigny in Seine-Saint-Denis. The place was made in the context of a theatrical decentralization movement promoted by the Minister of Culture, André Malraux.
In 1977, Valentin Fabre and Jean Perrottet, architects of the Maison de la Culture de Bobigny, launched the construction of a 6,000 m2 building. They inaugurated it on February 19, 1980.In 1990, Ariel Goldenberg and Jean-Michel Dubois launched a programme of extension and restructuring of 2 053 m2. In 1992, when the tram arrived in Bobigny and Boulevald Lenine was created, the space suffered from urban noises and vibrations. Therefore, the facade had to be redesigned. In 1999-2000, a new operation was launched to extend the space by 2,800 m2, and in 2005 the stage house of the Oleg Efremov hall was redesigned.
In 2012, faced with the various rehabilitation works, the Technical Director of the building, Patrick Devendille, proposed the establishment of a fire safety, accessibility for people with reduced mobility, acoustic and thermal regulations and stage changes.
Vincent Brossy, architect, and Michel Fayet, scenographer, implemented this project from 2015 to 2017.
