Building a theatre is a collective journey.
This theatre will not be built by one organisation alone, but by a community that believes independent art deserves a future. Every contribution moves the project forward.
Our fundraising unfolds in progressive milestones, each bringing the project closer to reality.
Goal 1: 50,000 USD - Open A Black Box (February to May, 2026)
Goal 2: 150,000 USD - Make It A Theatre (Long run)
Goal 1: 50,000 USD
Open A Black Box
ATH already owns much of the artistic equipment required to activate the space. This first milestone secures the essential infrastructure required to open a performing space and welcome audiences and artists in May 2026.
It will make possible:
the setup of a fully equipped black box, suitable for rehearsals and performances;
the installation of a stage, essential lighting, sound system;
the creation of a safe and comfortable environment for audiences;
the rapid opening of a venue dedicated to the independent performing arts scene.
This milestone marks the tangible birth of the theatre.
Exact allocation may evolve depending on the final location, but every contribution directly supports the creation of this space.
Goal 2: 150,000 USD
Make It A Theatre
Reaching this milestone means scaling up — transforming this performance space into a sustainable theatre that will support the future of independent live performance in Vietnam.
This funding will notably allow us to:
develop a theatre that meets professional public access standards;
significantly enhance stage equipment and the audience experience;
build a professional team capable of operating the theatre year-round and supporting artists over time;
implement a continuous programme that fosters artistic creation and meaningful connections with audiences.
More than a space, this theatre will become a landmark for the performing arts in Hanoi: a place where creations grow, artists build lasting careers, and audiences come together.
