The Dam Theater balances on an existing dam at the edge of a lake with views to the landscape. A recreational landscape floats on the water and serves as a park for boaters. The park acts as a biological water treatment system, for potable water production and waste water treatment. The lobby and theater extend over a river valley and frame a scenic view for the audience. The performance can range from a symphony to the changing of seasons, allowing the audience to simultaneously experience event and place.
