Théâtre Mohammed VI d'Oujda

A major performing-arts institution in Morocco’s Oriental region

Opened in 2014, the Mohammed VI Theatre of Oujda is one of Morocco’s largest modern theatre venues. It provides the Oriental region with infrastructure for theatre, concerts, festivals and large public productions.

Regional access to national-scale performance

A theatre of this scale can host touring companies, orchestras, major festival programmes and ceremonial events that require professional stage and audience facilities. Its presence strengthens Oujda’s role as a cultural centre for eastern Morocco and complements the city’s conservatory, galleries and Gharnati music institutions.

The theatre is programme-led rather than continuously open. Visitors should confirm the production, language, ticketing and start time. Continue with the Oujda Conservatory, Palais Dar Sebti and current cultural events in Oujda.

Théâtre Mohammed VI d'Oujda exists through live performance: rehearsal, technical preparation, the presence of performers and the temporary community created by an audience. Its significance is therefore best assessed through the productions it hosts, the artists it enables and the range of publics able to enter the room.
