אספקלריא, Theater venue at First Station complex in Jerusalem, Israel
Aspaklaria is a theater venue presenting contemporary plays and musical performances in an intimate setting within a renovated historic railway station building at the First Station complex. The spaces are small and close to the audience, creating a direct connection between performers and spectators.
Founded in 1999 by theater artist Hagay Lober, the venue has grown into a significant cultural institution in the city. The building originated as a railway station and was later converted to serve as a performance space.
The theater presents works that blend Jewish values with contemporary issues through diverse performance styles. Visitors experience how tradition and modern concerns intersect in the stories told on stage.
The venue is located at Shatner Street 3 and offers subscription programs with special pricing for regular visitors. An active performance schedule runs throughout the year, so checking the program in advance is worthwhile.
The venue operates both as a fixed stage and as a traveling company with multiple branches across the city. This approach brings performances to different areas of Jerusalem beyond the main location.
