The “Theatron”, the new multi-purpose space of the “Hellenic Cosmos”, is designed with the main features of versatility and flexibility and has been designed based on the most modern technical and architectural specifications. These features provide it with unique possibilities for rearrangement and reconfiguration, depending on the requirements of each event, so that the space can host the most demanding productions: theatrical and musical performances, concerts, conferences, corporate events, exhibitions, and shows with special stage requirements. Additionally, the audiovisual equipment of the “Theatron” is unique by Greek standards.

Faithful to the vision of the Foundation of the Hellenic World, the “Theatron” aspires to accommodate contemporary artistic expression and, combined with the infrastructure of the “Hellenic Cosmos”, to become an important cultural hub for Greece.
