The “Mill of Pappas” is the most important monument of the modern period of the city and was the largest mill in Thessaly from the end of 19th century to the mid 1980’s. The Municipality of Larissa proceeded to the purchase of the complex in 1988, aiming at preserving this industrial heritage monument. The purpose of the Municipality's intervention was to promote and re-use an abandoned shell to create a cultural space as a point of reference and upgrading of the area.
The purchase of the 1,3 acres property, in close proximity to the center of the city, was only the beginning. In 1989 the Ministry of Culture officially declared the 11-buildings complex an industrial monument and the Municipality begun the 14 years-length renovation, funded by National and Regional Operational Programs as well as the city’s budget.
The goal was two-fold. The first was to restore a significant monument of the city, one of the few remaining samples of the industrial profile of Larissa. The second, and most challenging in both methodology and sustainability, was to create the conditions for evolving into a focus point of the cultural sector, involving public, private and civil stakeholders. Today, the “Mill of Pappas” is a hive of creativity, housing some of the Municipality’s cultural organizations and museums, providing venues to local stakeholders for lessons, workshops, performances, exhibitions as well as co-organizing events.

● experimenting with a dynamic, contaminated language, in dialogue with contemporaneity
A "living theater", a return to the origins of theater as an "agora", as the main place and at the same time the limit of social criticism, collective reflection and comparison is what inspires our theatrical production and our planning that seeks opportunities of exchange, of contamination with the structures of society, with the school and the new generations.
