Le Théâtre du Soleil ordered to comply with labor law after audit

An external audit by the firm Vigo, conducted after allegations of sexual violence, has concluded that Le Théâtre du Soleil must improve its delegation of powers and comply with labor law. The audit, whose results were released on May 7, 2026, highlights both strengths and weaknesses in the theater's management. It recommends clearer hierarchical structures and better adherence to legal standards. The findings come in the wake of accusations that prompted the investigation. The theater, founded by Ariane Mnouchkine, is now under pressure to implement the recommendations.
