Experimental theater and cinema |
Plaza del Ayuntamiento, 17 Edificio Rialto Valencia 46002 Spain +34 96 353 9300 |
This small hall located right in the center of Valencia, in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, belongs to a chain of theaters owned by the Valencian government. It is situated in the same building as the Sala Rialto. Because of its small size, its possibilities are limited, therefore it specializes in avant-garde productions. It is used mostly by Valencian theater groups who put on experimental performances with unique staging arrangements, although on occasion you'll find vanguard groups from other places. It also serves as a cinema where they show new or never-seen cultural films. The entrance fee and schedule change according to the production. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 High-tech cinema and planetarium |
Avenida Instituto Obrero de Valencia, s/n Valencia 46013 Spain +34 96 335 5330 http://www.cac.es |
This architectural marvel designed by Santiago Calatrava was conceived as a very special cinema and planetarium. Here the spectator can in the same space experience the sensations of a conventional planetarium while enjoying the images offered in IMAX format. Its astronomic projection system is controlled by computers in order to produce a complete representation of the sky and the planets on a surface that is 24 meters in diameter and at a 30-degree angle. The clear, sharp images projected, along with the size of the screen and the quality of the sound, achieve an exceptional realism that will transport the audience into the next galaxy.
