These were otherwise utilitarian rooms, with white walls, grey carpets, and projectors suspended from ceiling mounts. So how did the festival manage to cram close to 60 different performances over three weeks on these very premises? Through creative use of many of the other venues in the building, including meeting rooms which were rebranded ‘Miniboxes’ for the festival. There is an auditorium as well as a multi-function room, but these are more suitable for talks, seminars and conferences.
In terms of performance spaces, however, there is only one proper venue: a 150-200 seater black box studio on the 4th floor. Instantly recognisable by its white, curved exterior, it houses a library, malls and galleries (the upper floors consist of a spiral ramp a la the Guggenheim Museum). The Bangkok Theatre Festival takes place at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, a handsome 9-storey rotunda building right beside the Siam Square shopping district.
