With the addition of two reinforced concrete pillars,
a project dating back to the Nineteen Seventies blotted out the original image
of Le Muse and permanently separated the external theatre casing from its dull
interior architecture. From here in, the new design
by the two architects DaniloGuerri
and Paola Salmoni "restored" a
complementary rapport between the modern interior and the neoclassical façades,
preserving as much as they could (the entrance staircase, the original lobby)
and creating a certain degree of continuity with the external urban setting,
where emphasis was placed on the most public places in the theatre (lobby,
foyer, reception rooms). The result is a theatre-plaza featuring materials that
recapture the nomadic and temporary spirit inherent of a
"performance" (wood and metal, trellises and galleries) as well as
the spirit of the urban monument (bricks and stones, rhetorical shapes and
collective meanings).
