Teatro India is an open-air performance venue on Lungotevere Vittorio Gassman in Rome, created from former Mira Lanza factory sheds. The industrial setting gives screenings and live events a distinctive backdrop. Its program includes films shown in their original language with Italian subtitles, as well as theatre, comedy and DJ events. Some film screenings are free and others require a ticket. The adjacent India Bar serves alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and pitas, so you can stay for a bite after a show.
An industrial site turned theatre
Teatro India opened in 1999 as a second venue for Rome’s Teatro di Roma, following Teatro Argentina. Its home is a group of sheds that once belonged to the Mira Lanza factory. The site’s industrial past remains part of the setting for performances and outdoor screenings.
Films and events
The program includes films screened outdoors in their original language with Italian subtitles. It also features theatre, comedy and DJ events, with children’s theatre among the kinds of performances held here. Screenings can be free or ticketed, so check the calendar for the event you plan to attend.
The venue has 154 seats, and advance reservations are not available for some screenings. Arriving early gives you a better chance of finding a seat. For accessible entry, use the dedicated entrance at via Luigi Pierantoni, 6.
The India Bar
The India Bar is next to the theatre and serves alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, along with pitas. It gives you a place to stop for food or a drink after a screening or performance.
