A new venue for performing arts in Venice that opened in 2000, the theatre occupies a building in the Vecchie Fonderie Cinquecentesche in Campo della Tana. Designated to host live performances, the space was redesigned by la Biennale, and now features a spectator terrace with 250 theatre seats and a stage 16 m wide and 13 m deep; an advanced stage-lighting system: a dimmer cabin for more than 100 channels and standard 250 Kw power, with a cutting-edge console. In the vast technical space behind the stage, there is a storage room, sets for the stage, services and dressing rooms.
