More information on Labia (The)
The oldest art-house theater in South Africa, the Labia was originally an opulent ballroom for the Italian Embassy. In 1949, Princess Labia converted the ballroom into a theater for live performances. The facility has been operating as a cinema for more than 20 years. There are four screens, with the largest theater seating up to 176 patrons. Independent cinema buffs come to view shows here, and to bask in the old-world ambiance. A snack bar featuring coffee, desserts, and alcoholic beverages is a popular gathering spot. Check out the theater's excellent Web site for current listings.
