The theater Theatron held its tenth anniversary and launched itself into the future by combining renovations with innovations in technology and art. There was an event directed by Yannis Kakleas and Greek President Karolos Papoulias also stopped by.

The three-level theater has two polymorphic halls. Antigone, the main one, can be transformed in 12 different ways and host anything from a play to a large conference. The other, Iphigenia, can be used independently or be connected to the main hall. Theatron also boasts three additional foyers that can host exhibitions and performances, and rooms for relaxation. “The sound-proofing is so good that theoretically we could have a rock concert downstairs and a poetry reading upstairs,” said Dimitris Efraimoglou, the managing director.

A cultural centre equipped with the latest technology, Theatron aspires to become a landmark on this fast developing part of Pireos street. It’s an exceedingly efficient building with multiple functional diversities. Sound-proofing, seating that can be arranged to accommodate smaller or bigger performances, exceptional acoustics and a stage that can be used in numerous ways.

“The theater’s emphasis is on technology and one of the aims is to enable artists to combine live action with digital technology,” Efraimoglou explained.

Director Yiannis Kakleas said, “The Theatron is ideally made for directors who love technology. You can experiment with mixed media on body movement, music and vocals without losing the warm atmosphere of traditional theaters,”
