the salle modulable
This space is equipped with nesting retractable bleachers and, depending on their configuration, can seat up to 376 people. It is a more intimate space and is frequently used for live performances, and – when the space is left open, it is ideal for presenting exhibits, cabaret evenings and other special events.

les Studios
The Studios consist of two experimental spaces, the "light" and the "dark" rooms, in which artists from differing disciplines use the workshop form as a means of dialogue exploring the relationship between the performing arts and the audiovisual environment.
These workshops often culminate in public presentations or installations.

les rehearsal studios
The largest rehearsal studio was built especially for the Orchestre Symphonique de Mulhouse, with direct access to the orchestra pit in the Grande Salle. The second studio is equipped with a dance floor and is generally used by theatre or dance companies doing artistic residencies at La Filature.
