Abstract

The Ex-Theatre Avenue Matta is an exponent of the theatres built in the 1920s that is still in use in the present day. It was erected in 3 stages generating a sequence of building processes that are demonstrated by the existence of 3 masses, each with their respective façades and differing uses. In the mid-1930s the theatre was converted into a cinema, carrying out a double function for various decades. After ceasing to function as a cinema, the building was recovered as the Temple of Matta for “The Church of the Autonomous God.” This new use is compatible with the configuration of the building, conserving characteristics that demonstrate the typology of the theatre. The investigation centered as much on the process of palimpsest under which it was created in the building as on the series of interventions that the property has suffered in different times product of changes in use.
