The Barcelò theater opened in 1930 in Madrid, and is a cornerstone of the capital city’s nightlife. Only a short distance from Plaza del 2 de Mayo, the Barclò was originally designed by the architect Gutiérrez Soto, who chose the Rationalist style for the elegant cinema theatre. Its first transformation was in the 80’s, in the middle of La Movida, when the theatre was turned into a dance club, rivaling that of New York’s Studio 54, and preferred by international artists and musical stars alike. Today, its charm has been enhanced by the changes made to El Cielo, a panoramic room in the club that overlooks the cityscape, and faces toward the the pink Museo de Historia de Madrid and the Mercado Municipal de Barcelo’. The project was designed by the Cuarto Interior studio, who created a symmetrical atmosphere, with a central dance floor and side seating areas. What catches the eye is the immense ledwall behind the main privè, which is used to project varied visuals that enhance the evening’s experience. Graphics, images and animated videos all add special effects that consolidate the club’s important past and bright future into one.
