Divadlo Spirála, theatre in Prague, Czech Republic
Divadlo Spirála is a theater building in Prague 7 built in the early 1990s on the exhibition grounds. The structure features a large black cylinder with spiral ramps that guide visitors through the interior to their seats.
The theater was built in the early 1990s as a modern theater venue and received recognition in 1993 for its innovative design. A severe flood in 2002 caused extensive damage and led to the building's closure.
The theater's name comes from the distinctive spiral ramp that winds around the interior. Visitors could once move through the auditorium by walking along these intertwining pathways, which created a flowing experience from entry to seating.
The building is currently not open to the public and remains in disrepair. It is located on Prague's exhibition grounds, which can be reached by the metro station Nádraží Holešovice or several tram stops.
The theater was known for hosting major musical productions such as Jesus Christ Superstar and Romeo and Juliet during the 1990s, which were among the first of their kind performed in the Czech Republic. These productions attracted audiences from across the region.
