Theatres and Stadium of Asmara

 

There are nine movie houses in Asmara. The cinemas have regular English, Italian and Indian films which are dubbed or have subtitles. The older and larger movie houses were build during the Italian period and are of architectural interest.

Eritrea has no tradition in drama. It is only today that theater is growing more popular in Eritrea as a channel of artistic expression. Original Eritrean theater often takes the struggle against Ethiopian domination as a major theme and usually displays a political sensitivity.
