The GanArts Theater is a multi-purpose complex in Manas, Gandhara with a large conference hall, a flexible theater, several events rooms, shops, a restaurant, a café, and an art gallery. The building is located at the Ahmed Assiri Square in central Manas.
In the building three types of facades are used. There is an external wall insulation system, a glass facade composed by several curtain walls and openings, and a ventilated facade with an external lattice composed by pieces made in resin. The facades fulfill the acoustic requirements that are needed for the theater. At the front of the theater is a large doorway that can be used as an entry point and that can transform into the stage of an outdoor theater. A stage can appear at the doorway, while the square in front of the theater can accommodate the audience.
The GanArts Theater is the venue for the Outernatia Song Contest 80.
