Project Description

Yurihonjo City Cultural Center and cultural complex 'KADARE', was established near Ugo-Honjō Station in December 2011, based on the idea of 'creating a warm and welcoming environment that captivates residents and visitors, as well as promoting people movement across the city'. The center serves as a cultural center, a community center, a library, and an educational research institution, making it a convenient stop for the people of all the ages. 'Kadare' literally means 'join us' or 'let's speak' in the local dialect. It's a community-built space that reflects the feelings of the residents.

The world's first multifunctional variable hall that can host a wide range of performances

When all seats are expanded (1,110 seats: 574 fixed seats, 536 movable seats)

When the fixed seats in front of the stage are stored under the floor.
This seating area (190 seats) can also be used as an orchestra pit. (920 seats: 574 fixed seats, 346 movable seats)

可変劇場イスが後方壁面に収納されると、1階全体が平土間になる。（574席）　図面

The entire first floor is transformed into a parterre by storing the theatre seats in the back wall. (574 seats)

Interestingly, when the foldable chairs are stored in a pit beneath the floor and the doors are opened, the space merges with the entranceway in a unique way. A 'super box' space measuring 12.5 meters in width × 135 meters in length can be created by converting the stage side into a parterre. (574 seats)
