Bruxelles Laïque; which has been supporting secular humanism in Brussels for almost 50 years has taken over the Théâtre des Variétés, an iconic movie palace which could seat over 2,000 spectators in a room large enough to accomodate the legendary Cinerama screen. In its heyday in the 1930's it was considered one of the most modern theatres with a turning stage, a rising orchestra pit, a roof that opened and was the first movie theatre to be completely illuminated by neon lights.
Converting the theatre into the multi-use vision of Bruxelles Laïque while maintaining the large space was the main challenge. Ricardo Flores and Eva Prat, the architects of the restoration project, tell us how they tackled the challenge.
