Iwan Baan
We worked with the architect to shape the room and create an intimate audience-artist dynamic, perfect for the show’s interactive, educational nature. The result is a robust, dynamic venue with a 360-degree mezzanine and a one-of-a-kind retractable seating system. The venue, which was originally a historic ventilator building, features high-tech performance lighting systems, which contribute to the theatre’s unique flexibility and versatility.
