The theatre is located north of the Grand Place, at the end of two narrow alleyways known as / and / (themselves located at, 66, /). The district, commonly called "Îlot Sacré" since the 1960s, due to its resistance to demolition projects, is located within the perimeter of the Grand Place and consists of very dense city blocks testifying to the urban organisation of Brussels during the Middle Ages. The old buildings, meanwhile, belong to the so-called "reconstruction" period which followed the bombardment of the city in 1695.
