In this way the main lobby acquires a representative façade, facing this new invented urban space, some 30 metres in length and 6 in height, which thanks to the skylight that covers it appears almost like an exterior space and, in this way, helps to mark out and place emphasis on the auditorium itself, the essential protagonist of this project. The auditorium, which seats 600 spectators, has an immense and dynamic wooden ceiling that undulates from the entrances at the back towards the stage, providing an image that is spectacular and yet cosy, as well as having excellent acoustic qualities that allow for shows of a medium format to be put on with a suitable response.
The rest of the space is laid out around the theatre’s plaza, with a stairway/carpet of black granite tiles leading down to a basement level that shares the full height of the lobby and its skylight. The rehearsal and work rooms for groups and artistic associations are laid out around this stairway with the quality of the natural light ensuring that this space never gives the impression that it is a basement rather, and on the contrary, becoming a kind of virtual ground floor, a prolongation of the main street of the plaza.
