Funambules, Théâtre des, Paris, playhouse on the
boulevard du Temple which derived its name from the Latin for rope-dancers. It began as a
booth for acrobats and pantomime, but in 1816 a permanent theatre was built on the site which under the existing laws had to have a
barker outside, while the actors, even in more serious roles, had to indulge in somersaults and handsprings. In the year it opened the famous actor
Frédérick made his stage début there, in
harlequinades, but its great days began in the 1830s with the appearance of
Deburau as
Pierrot, and lasted until his death. He was always surrounded by a good company, and the pantomimes in which he starred were given with wonderful scenery,
transformation scenes, and
trickwork, the stage being excellently equipped. The theatre was finally demolished by Haussmann in 1862 in his building of the great boulevards.
