Kaaitheater

About

The Kaaitheater, is a theatre located in Brussels, Belgium, housing a theatre and cultural institutions. It occupies a block between the Quai des Péniches/Akenkaai and Quai de Willebroeck/Willebroekkaai, with its main entrance on the Square Sainctelette/Sainctelettesquare. The theatre is located next to and connected with the former Citroën Garage, forming part of the continuous urban block.

The complex includes two buildings, one with apartments and a café and the other a theatre hall. It was designed by architect Marcel Driesmans and constructed between 1929 and 1931 in a modernist and Art Deco style. It takes its original name from the Luna amusement park that once stood on the site. The theatre opened in 1932 and after several transformations and renovations was renamed Kaaitheater in 2001.
