They are constantly squeezing the living space of Dongpo Theater with the change of the city and the prosperity of business.

In the West Lake side of the Commercial District, only the rest room and audience hall are left in the Dongpo Theater space. The renovation of Dongpo theatre combines modern opera and dance in order to restore the true state of performance and space with the simplest language to infect the audience.

Unlike the addition of construction, the reconstruction design of Dongpo Theater has adopted a subtraction method. In order to restore the original appearance of the space and try to reshape the space with minimal intervention, the building decoration in different stages of the theater were demolished. After reorganizing the space, structure and equipment, the space is decorated with necessary modifications to the audience.

The stucco decoration of the wall in the early stages of the theater and the elements of the stepped guardrail of the lounge are used to pay tribute to history. The large steps of the entrance, which will awaken memories of the theater for people. It is reshaped a more open viewing space with demolition of the ceiling and wall decoration of the audience hall, which eliminates the sense of depression in the original audience hall.

The auditorium is enclosed by cement, steel, black and gray; this makes the audience feel like they are sitting in a cave to watch song and dance performances, and restores the original appearance of the theater.
