The Teatro Popular is one of Oscar Niemeyer’s most recent projects, completed in 2007, and is located a little further north along the Niterói coast from his flying saucer-like Museo de Arte Contemporáneo. The wavy roofline celebrates the undulating mountains of Rio de Janeiro. Its theatre can hold 460 spectators and has a reversible stage that can face both the interior and exterior depending on the size of the event that is hidden behind its big red doors. These photographs were captured early one morning while staff were setting up for an upcoming event on the grounds.
