ouverture au cadre a dance-theatre performance (modern). the term is on the fiche technique that accompanies the promotional material to find performance venues, it indicates that it can be performed in wide variety of locations but I think this means the minimum width of stage possible is 10 meters

Don't you have more context? What kind of play or theatre? realistic? in the round? It could be a million things...
