Ariston Escher Theater
The former Ariston cinema, which closed in 2016, was renovated and converted into a performance venue. In 2022, the venue – an annexe of the Escher Theatre, located 200 metres away – opened its doors to the public.
The venue can accommodate 180 visitors, including six spaces reserved for wheelchair users.
