UK's first 'recycled theatre' to open in Southwark
The Jellyfish Theatre in Southwark will become the UK's first fully-functioning theatre made entirely from recycled and reclaimed materials when it opens later this year.
The opening of the venue is part of the The Oikos Project, a mix of public art, architecture and performance.
It is the brainchild of Arts Council-funded organisations The Red Room and The Architecture Foundation, in association with The Junction, Cambridge.
The Red Room will present two newly commissioned plays at the theatre, which was built by Berlin-based architects Köbberling and Kaltwasser.
The structure is also being showcased as part of the London Festival of Architecture.
Local residents and visitors to the site donated materials for the build of The Jellyfish Theatre and also volunteered as builders, carpenters and unskilled hands.
It will open to the public at the end of August and will be dismantled in October 2010. Details: Jellyfish Theatre
