SmoT - Smaland's Center for Performing Arts, Sweden

Smaland's Music and Theater is an answer to one thousand questions.
Twisted as a spiral to catch the attention of the eye as well as the body, transparent, to turn every side into a front, compact, to be efficient and sparse, meandering, to make the foyer an adventure, mystic, to create expectation.
A theater is a creation made to move you. As you sit in your chair, the world around begins to change.
The performance, may it be dance, theater or music, wakens the imagination. Time and space are no longer the same in body and mind. No building is capable of doing this of its own. But architecture may support the journey that the artists create.
A public filled with a certain excitement already when entering the building, has already joined the ride.
