‘This space is destined to be a workshop, scenic arts factory, dedicated especially to text theater and contemporary theater. ... .... It is a simple space, with nothing superfluous, well equipped technically and is a very malleable space, which adapts to the theater and not as usual, the performances have to adapt to the spaces which are quite impassable sometimes. ‘ Salvador Sunyer. Programa Miradas 2 de TVE emès el 30-IX-12.
The Canal – Performing Arts Center in Salt/Girona is a national performing and scenic creation center which is part of the network of public centers like the National Theater of Catalunya, Lliure Theater and Performing Arts Center of Reus and Terrassa. The vocation of the ‘El Canal’ is to have an own voice and a way of seeing and making the theater a little different from the other theaters in our country, both public and private, but we mustn´t forget that is part of an overall corpus, which is the Catalan public theater and, therefore, it has to fulfill some unavoidable functions and it must be coordinated with the other centers of the country.

ROOM ACOUSTIC DESIGN Variable acoustics In order to solve the problem of the same volume for different configurations is constructed a wooden board skin with large holes and behind the skin there are installed rock wool blankets, protected by air permeable veils. These blankets can be fold and unfold according to the needs of each sound absorption of the several configurations. Thus this absorption will be available to be placed on the lateral surfaces, the ceiling (above scenic equipment) or even roll up. The effect of this variable absorption will be strengthened with the addition of the black chamber, composed entirely of absorbent textile materials.
