Clay Moulded Musical Theatre

Listeners encounter a dramatic interior space designed for musical performance, formatted as an architectural photograph capturing the relationship between seating area and monumental walls. The overall impression conveys warmth, enclosure, and organic sophistication. Scanning from the dominant wall surfaces toward the seating, massive panels finished in warm terracotta tones rise from floor level, their surfaces carved with continuous horizontal undulations resembling layered earth strata or the rippled surface of wind-sculpted sand dunes. These wave-like striations create a texture that might feel beneath fingertips like fine-ridged ceramic, each horizontal band approximately finger-width, flowing across vast surfaces with hypnotic regularity. The color temperature throughout remains consistently warm, like sunlight filtering through amber glass, ranging from deeper burnt sienna in shadowed recesses to luminous ochre where light grazes the raised ridges. Two major triangular wall segments dominate the composition, meeting at angular seams that cut diagonally across the undulating surface like geological fault lines. These joints create crisp linear interruptions in the otherwise flowing horizontal pattern. In the lower left and continuing toward center, tiered rows of theater seating ascend in gentle curves. Each seat is upholstered in soft fabric matching the surrounding palette, appearing plush and yielding, in warm caramel and amber tones. The seats are arranged in sweeping arcs that follow the curvature of the enclosing walls, creating approximately eight visible rows that diminish in apparent size as they rise toward the upper reaches of the frame. Illumination filters softly from above, creating no harsh shadows but rather gentle gradations that emphasize the dimensional relief of the walls. The atmosphere suggests hushed anticipation, the implied acoustic quality of an intimate performance space where sound might wrap around listeners like the embracing walls themselves.

For the interior decor, the designers chose an archaic material, clay. It is probably the largest interior in the world made of natural clay. The pattern and technology of the hall is unique and continuous throughout the space, created by one artist Mantas Petravicius. All planes are in motion. They open and close, depending on the nature of the concert and the acoustics required; that's what makes this space even more unique.
