Text description provided by architect.

The most valuable elements on the plot are the two formidable pine trees to be found on it and importance is placed on rescuing the space beneath their branches which has been used for years as a place for celebration and dancing by the town of Casas Ibáñez.

The theater is built around this shaded space, neither entirely an exterior nor an interior space, empty and open;

within this take place all the access points to merchandise, management, rehearsal rooms as well as access to the public.

The theater does not open to the wider space, the street of la Cañada, and using a certain architectural tradition of La Mancha “hides” its access.

Nevertheless, it does not give up its public character,From the street of la Cañada.

The high and crooked canvases of the theater provide it with a vibrant plasticity under the sun that identifies it as a public building.

The diversity of uses of the building is compatible with its compact body.
