General info

We follow carefully the current instructions and restrictions concerning audience capacity. This applies to both Viirus´own productions and Viirus GUEST repertoire.

In our theatre halls we take care of the safe distance between all seats. Our front of house staff, as well as the technicians operating the performance, will wear face masks at all times. We disinfect our audience spaces always before the performance, during the performance and after the performance. We have substantially enhanced cleaning in our venue. 

Furthermore, all staff is tested daily and we also take care of the general work safety by maintaining distance between different departments (office, technicians, actors, visitors, working groups).

Arriving to theatre and before the performance starts

Theatre´s lobby is open one hour before the performance. Doors for Studio 1 / The Main Hall is opened 10 minutes before the beginning of the performance.

When arriving at the venue,  first disinfect your hands with the disinfectant spray located in the lobby. Wash your hands periodically during the whole visit. Our lobby area is spacious and you can also wait start of the performance outdoors. 

Please take care of at all times the 1-2 m safe distance for other visitors. For safety reasons our cloakroom is out of use. You can either take your outdoor garments with you to the theatre hall or leave them to the designated coat racks in the lobby. If you have larger items that need to be left to the lobby, please contact our staff for assistance.
