The Pavón Theatre, opened in 1925, is one of Madrid’s first buildings to be built entirely in the Art Decó style.
This popular theatre is one of the architectural landmarks of the Lavapiés neighbourhood due to its colourful décor with art déco details on the façade, its rationalist volumetrics and, above all, its tower and clock. After years of abandonment, it recovered its image thanks to the refurbishment and reconstruction between 2000 and 2001 to be home to the National Classical Theatre Company until 2015. Following this company’s move to the Comedy Theatre, it has been closed until it was reopened in August 2016 under the management of important figures on the Madrid scene, such as Miguel del Arco and the actor, Israel Elejalde, along with the producers, Jordi Buxó and Aitor Tejada.
The theater has one hall with a capacity for 400 people and a smaller one for 80 people, in Galinero. It also features Ambigú, a multifaceted hall and a bar where theater goes beyond the stage and where something happens all the time, and a Terrace, a unique space with views of Rastro and Madrid sky that often features themed events and concerts.
