Overview

  • The project includes a new 500-seat venue with advanced stage and technical systems that Focus describes as unique in Barcelona.
  • Focus plans to vacate its Àvila headquarters in mid‑February to enable works expected to run for about 20 months.
  • The redevelopment would double usable space from 3,000 to 6,000 square meters and incorporate a higher school serving roughly 600 students.
  • Classes are planned to start in September 2028, with the theatre offering regular programming outside periods reserved for the school.
  • Gènesis will be Focus’s first owned theatre in Barcelona, and the unveiling drew attendance from city and regional cultural officials.
