International Observatory Of Theatres At Risk

The Observatory for Theatres at Risk intends to be a collecting point for information on theatre spaces under threat. It should be the first step in order to recover them.

Nowadays, not just the theatral spaces, the theatres, but also spaces with potential performing, are at risk. At other times it is the growth of the city following the rules of the marketplace which threaten them. It is usually no more than negligence which makes them vulnerable. The majority of these buildings however deserve to be rescued for the use and enjoyment of the community.
