Conversion of disused spaces into theatrical spaces

Abstract

Tributary to the theatrical practices of the ‘60s or ‘70s, the traditional theatre building is being left in search of the unknown resources of the city. Consequently performances that are being held in unusual places, marginal or abandoned, develop new relations between actors, audience and building itself. Therefore, we witness an architectural reconversion phenomenon with cultural finality that is not only architectural but also communitarian.
