Coordinator
PERSPECTIV – Association of Historic Theatres in Europe – is the coordinator of the European Route project. The non-profit association connects people across Europe who are responsible for historic theatres or who else have a professional or private interest in this topic. Together we support the preservation, restoration, and adequate use of as well as research into this very special common European heritage.
