Escorxador Municipal Theatre
The old abattoir, designed by Francesc de Paula Morera Gatell, is the city’s most important example of Modernist architecture. It underwent a number of modifications and finally closed for business in 1984. It has now been converted into a first-class cultural facility.
The Escorxador Theatre’s main auditorium has seating for 310. There is also a smaller stage for experimental and multidisciplinary arts, and a multipurpose Café-Theatre. The impressive panel presiding over the theatre lobby is the work of artist Frederic Amat.
Municipal Theatre School
The Escorxador Theatre is also the site of the Municipal Theatre School, where drama classes, acting symposia and monographic courses are held.
