Two fundamental assumptions converge in the project: first, historical nature; the second, political-cultural nature.

A-Historically: the Baltic city had already known at the beginning of the seventeenth century the wooden building of the Elizabethan Theatre. After about four centuries builds the new theatre on the same place, but in an urban and landscape context completely different, restarting from their archaeological traces found of that far away presence.

B- Politically: in 2004, there was an international competiton for the design of the new Elizabethan Theatre. As if the new theatre had to represent on the stage of Gdansk of the reversal of the political horizon.
