Anyone who wants to can sit together, play, read, chill out, dance, work or simply be there. The space is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and is free of consumption.

The Foyer Public is an urban space under the roof of the theatre for general use.
It is located in the foyer of the Large and Small Stages of Theater Basel.
Daily, except Mondays, from 11:00 to 18:00.
Theater Basel wants to make this very large and beautiful space available to everyone.
