The project discusses the concept of theatre in the 21st century, its role in contemporary society and its incorporation into the existing organism of the city. The following suppositions for the design project were developed from the studies:
- theatre today consists of various types of performing arts (classical and non-classical performances) held on different types of stages (traditional and non-traditional)
- a new approach was to find spaces not necessarily meant to be (or suitable to be) stages and arouse the artist’s creativity and trigger new forms of theatre
- stress was put on the technical aspects of a theatre stage
The idea was not a theatre on the location, but a creation of a theatre space (theatre city) out of the location. Our project tries to find and define some of these possible performance spaces as the theatre of the 21st century itself evolves. However, there is also a classical stage with strong technical support.
