The presentation concerns small playhouses in Athens. These small theatres were founded in Athens during the last five years, based on the model set by Karolos Koun's playhouse and "Nea Skini" company's playhouse (dir. Lefteris Voyatzis). These spaces are home to theatre companies either subsidized or non subsidized, usually consisting of young artists engaged in experimental thoatre. This is a flexible architectural type, which is adjusted to normally fixed spaces, of 150-200 seating capacity, with different arrangements and different stage construction.
