Graciosa Island Cultural Centre

The Graciosa Island Cultural Centre hosts a variety of events including theatre, musical concerts, festivals, conferences, and lectures.

The Cultural Centre is divided into three areas:

Work Area: This area includes a workroom and a green room for artists, a prop room, double dressing rooms, the stage, an orchestra pit, and WC.
Support Area:  This area includes the carpentry room, the sound and light control room, the projection room, and the fire fighter's room.
Public Area:  This area includes the theatre, the atrium, the coffee bar, the coatroom, the box office, and the WC.

Since theatre is one of the expected activities for the cultural centre, it has a large stage. The stage has a 12-metre proscenium arch and 120 square metres of stage area, with a total open area of 240 square metres and 15 metres of height. This space allows for working with scenarios efficiently. The stage also has an acoustical reflector panel. The stage is in the form of a cave and includes the carpentry room, the prop room, the access to the orchestra pit, and a large work and storage area.

The theatre has capacity for 246 people in 11 rows, which can be increased by 30 people with removable chairs. The theatre is ramped, without any stairs. This allows for wheelchair access and easy access for anyone with difficulties walking.  

The Cultural Centre also has a multipurpose room that can be used as an alternative theatre for more intimate cultural events. The multipurpose room has a capacity for 50 to 60 people. The attached balcony and the location of coffee shop in this area are ideal for the use of this room as coffee and music bar.
