The Venue: “Theatron” of the Hellenic Cosmos 

Having as the main design characteristics multiformity and flexibility, the “THEATRON” can host the most demanding productions regarding the arrangement of the area and technological infrastructure. With the use and application of innovative techniques and architectural solutions, the “THEATRON” possesses unique capabilities of re-arrangement, so that it can adapt to the demands of every event: plays and concerts, conferences, exhibitions and spectacles with particular stage demands.

Faithful to the vision of the Foundation of the Hellenic World, the “THEATRON” has the ambition of housing contemporary artistic expression and to constitute, combined with the other infrastructures of Hellenic Cosmos, a significant cultural centre in Greece.
