the alternative cultural center

This space was the main armory of the former military barracks, which in December 2003 was bought in ruins by the Custom Circus company with self-financing.
 
By restoring this barn, the company aimed to turn it into its own theater, but due to constant economic difficulties and a lot of itinerant work, its phased construction took eight years.
 
But believing with perseverance worked miracles! The Custom Café, the mysterious theater that was doomed several times not to exist, finally opened in March 2012 with the show Le Cabaret Rock, an intensive production that received more than 40,000 spectators in 2 consecutive years, thus signing the residency of this troupe of nomadic genesis.
 
Its surroundings transcend the conventional theatrical space and the transition of the company's underground imagery to this room was the result of a genuine story so scenographic that the aesthetics that Custom Circus has represented in so many years on the road invade the visitor, from DieselPunk to Bizarre Chic and SteamPunk.
 
The company has taken care to preserve and exhibit in Nirvana Studios many of the period artifacts from the old barracks found during its excavations to rebuild and consolidate the armouries, including (decommissioned) bombs and countless industrial archaeological objects.​​
