The interior of the old Lutheran Church, dating from 1793, evokes a sense of spaciousness. When theatre company, De Trust, was given the opportunity to convert the building into a theatre, the idea emerged that the walls and columns should be left to tell their own tale and be encroached on as little as possible. A double colonnade lined with Tuscan columns shapes the church’s interior. At the height of the first colonnade a new theatre floor is placed in the enormous space creating unbroken sight lines and acoustics.
