Formerly a furniture store, the city acquired this building in 2020 to transform it into Konschthal Esch – a Space for Contemporary Art. The transformation of the building lasted until mid-2022. With a full surface area of nearly 2400 m2, the Konschthal enjoys the benefits of exceptional spaces on 4 levels. A far cry from the classic White Cube, with its spaces stripped down, weight-bearing elements and rough-hewn structures such as concrete slabs and metal beams give it its unique appearance. Initially, the Konschthal will also play an important role in a socio-cultural and local context, promoting dialogue between generations and becoming a place of exchanges where history, the present and the future are part of the programme.

In June 2022 the former Ariston cinema, closed since 2016, reopened its doors with a newly restored look. The intention behind the restoration of this attractive Art Nouveau building is that it will act as the second venue of the Escher Theater, being located just a stone’s throw away from the theatre in Rue Pierre Claude. The plan is to focus on young audiences and children, and to run workshops and events involving the local community. In addition, the Ariston will showcase the performing arts in all their forms through even more intimate and innovative performances. You are welcome to join in events, or, if just fancy a drink, head for the new Ariston’s stylish bar.
