The restoration of the Roman Theatre of Clunia has been carried out in two phases: a first project, completed in 2010, in which the whole of the cavea of the theatre was configured through the creation of an upper walkway, access stairs and different levels of the tiers, and a second phase, completed in 2020, which undertook the intervention on the stage and post-scenium.

The interventions in the theatre constitute the end of a research process that began with the excavation and subsequent architectural interpretation, thus closing a recovery process that allows us to understand the missing architecture through the restoration of the remains of the stage and the incorporation of copies of fragments of the columns that made it up, constituting an excellent background for the performances and cultural shows that are usually carried out in the theatre.

A wooden walkway behind the stage wall allows the circulation of actors for the stage entrance. In order to protect the substructures and to create an antique shop, a semi-buried pavilion has been built underneath it, which completes the building as a whole, forming a complete architecture made up of the pre-existing elements together with the new additions, creating a relationship between monument and landscape.

The stage building of the old theatre is reconfigured, incorporating a contemporary architectural language, which makes it possible to hold summer festivals and generates a new function in the residual covered space, where the remains of the stage decoration are exhibited and the dressing rooms are fitted out for possible performances.
