On June 6, 2026, the Lewarde Historical Mining Center hosts an exceptional theatrical performance: “The miners’ strike”. A show performed on the very site of an old mining pit — a strong moment, full of emotion and memory.

The play plunges the audience back into the tense atmosphere of social conflicts in the northern coal basin. The struggle of miners for their rights, their working conditions, their dignity: so many universal themes that still resonate today, in the villages and families of the mining area.

Performing theater in a real pit, with authentic buildings in the background, is something unique. We are not in the theater — we are in history. This immersion makes the performance even more powerful and moving.

The Lewarde Historical Mining Center is the largest mining museum in France, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and hosts numerous cultural events each year to bring this exceptional heritage to life.
