Since 2004 the functioning October glass factory has shared its space with this innovative art venue. Fabrika was the first independent, nonprofit contemporary art organisation in Moscow; nowadays it is home to architectural firms, a publishing house and a film studio, in addition to the ‘interdisciplinary’ exhibition space. As such, Fabrika hosts dance, theatre and other interactive exhibits, plus visual art displays.
The most active space is (appropriately enough) the Aktovy Zal, a black box theatre that was formerly used by factory workers for amateur theatre and worker meetings. Contemporary dance, theatre and music are performed every evening.
