Givatayim Theater

History

In 1996, the deconstructivist building designed by architects Bracha Chayutin and Michael Chayutin won the Israeli Rechter Prize for architecture.[1] The building was built by Givatayim Municipality via target corporation, the Municipal Economic Company. At first it was called Communal Culture Center, as it was to be its purpose, then Beit Esslingen after the rooms on the top floor served as a hostel for a youth delegation from Esslingen, Germany, who had contributed to the construction of the building by donating money. On 23 July 1998, the building was officially renamed Givatayim Theater.

At the beginning of 2014, David Kigler was appointed substitute director of the theater, after the theater had fallen into debt of 1.5 million shekels. Public and political criticism arose due to the fact that Kigler held the seventh place under the mayor Ran Konik's political party "Our Givatayim".


The theater has a large central hall, a smaller space named for Arbelli Almozalino (which also displays dolls from her collection) and a theater club. The theater also has a cafe, a guesthouse and a sculpture garden. A storytellers festival takes place there on an annual basis.

gollark: Oh dear. They should stop having that.
gollark: Why are people answering the thing in <#748676214280945684>? It doesn't evaluate to anything if you don't define the variables.
gollark: I would also not be surprised if they did release it, but it's inscrutable deep neural networks doing RL or something.
gollark: And I wouldn't be surprised if Elon ends up not doing this because the "algorithm" is so tied to internal Twitter infrastructure that they can't easily port it.
gollark: Them releasing the code wouldn't actually make it more privacy™ or anything.
