Theater ‘de Maaspoort’ will soon be a new and contemporary theater complex. During the extensive metamorphosis of the theater, all public areas, the large theater hall, the front facade and the offices were renovated in the first phase. A contemporary brasserie was also realized: Pollux. In the subsequent second phase, an extra theater hall and a restaurant with an outdoor terrace on the second floor will follow. The complete renovation and new construction of Theater de Maaspoort is expected to be operational in February 2013.

RENOVATION AND REDEVELOPMENT OF THEATRE
For the renovated theatre on the Maas, M+R interior architecture took this important lifeline for the city of Venlo as a source of inspiration; Where the broad stream of the Maas…, the banks, the landing stage, the theatre; the gateway to art and culture; reflection, emotion, amazement and wonder, the city's stage. The images of boulders, ships, jetties have been used as a metaphor for the interior of the renovated theatre. The interior is predominantly warm white with purple accents composed of natural sustainable materials, with the design inspired by shipping, such as the bars. The movable benches are ships that are moored in the theatre café and restaurant, in the foyers there are boulders here and there that were carried along by the river. The floor is like a wooden jetty on the quay surrounded by flowing water.
