The space regularly hosts a diverse program of performances including theatre, dance, music (ranging from classical to contemporary), and visual arts exhibitions. Its location within the preserved monastic complex contributes to a unique cultural experience for audiences. The venue is noted for prioritizing artistic experimentation and supporting emerging artists alongside established names.
