History of the Théâtre de la Choucrouterie

The Théâtre de la Choucrouterie was founded in the 1980s by singer and satirist Roger Siffer within a former sauerkraut factory, which serves as the origin of its name. Over the years, the venue evolved into a center for *bilingual cabaret* that explores regional identity through music and topical reviews. By balancing French and Alsatian, the theatre continues to ensure that local language and humor remain a vibrant part of the cultural landscape in Strasbourg.

  • Roger Siffer creates La Choucrouterie

    1984-1986Founding

    Singer and satirist Roger Siffer founded the theatre in the 1980s in a former sauerkraut factory—the source of its name. Cabaret, topical revue and music made the small venue a distinctive voice in Strasbourg's cultural life.

  • Alsatian cabaret theatre

    Founding

    La Choucrouterie grew from Roger Siffer's cabaret into a bilingual theatre known for satire, music and performances rooted in Alsatian culture.

  • Bilingual Alsatian satire

    Cultural significance

    Productions move between French, Alsatian and regional references, using humour to address politics, language and identity. That bilingual practice helped keep Alsatian audible within a contemporary urban theatre rather than only a heritage display.
