Teatro India

Southern Rome


Inaugurated in 1999 in the post-industrial landscape of Rome’s southern suburbs, the India is the younger sister of Teatro Argentina. It’s a stark, modern space in a converted industrial building, a fitting setting for its cutting-edge program, with a calendar of international and Italian theatre and dance.
