East Warehouse Theater

The East Warehouse Theater was also transformed from a theater with a 100-year history. It was based on gallery-themed architecture, with the first floor being a hall and the second a winding corridor.

It has been converted into one of the first arena stages in China. The actors could have interactive activities with the audience. It is therefore an ideal place for the performances of experimental plays and modern dance.

The theater is able to host no more than 200 people at a time, and has this season hosted the premiere of a Chinese play Cut & Stitch and will stage Riding on a Cloud, a Lebanese play in the coming days.
