In response to the role of the modern theatre, Ben van Berkel is quoted to have said the following: “In contrast to today’s mediatised culture, theatre offers the participatory experience of the live event, often appropriately referred to as ‘liveliness’: the ‘magic of live theatre’, understood as the strange, elusive energy between audience and performer, the community forged together and the momentary collaboration necessitated by the live event. Theatre de Stoep is designed to fortify and inspire this liveliness, providing at one and the same time a place of performance, of social gathering and of experiencing contrasting realities: the world of the other, of fabrication, of expression and display, but simultaneously the very real sentient experience of ourselves as spectators within these worlds.”
The 5,800 sqm design comprises of a larger 650 capacity auditorium and a smaller 200 capacity one. Some of the servant spaces include: a grand foyer, a café and restaurant, a VIP lounge, offices and dressing rooms. All this is achieved in a massing block that borrows from the metaphor of a flower. However, the hinge that brings the two grand spaces together is the central column-free foyer. It is this foyer that serves as a datum and a way-finding arena that leads to a sculptural stairway that bind the two auditoria entrances. “The vertical foyer becomes a pivotal point in the social functioning of the theatre, a ‘stage’ for the visitors and a dynamic focal point surrounded by viewpoints on different levels.” Ben van Berkel notes.
