In order to present the high number of theaters created in Athens to cope with the city’s enourmous theatrical drive, we decided to design an interactive installation; a map of the city of Athens where all the theater stages are marked in their positions. The map shows the density of theatres within the urban tissue. Visitors are encouraged to interact with the installation and discover the microscopic models, which are hidden behind reclining sections of the map. A metal staircase allows the most daring and curious visitors to reach all of the ‘pockets’. The final result resembles to a gigantic vertical board game.
