A sign was posted on the glass pane walls of the Drama Theater in Skopje, warning citizens not to get too close to the building. “Careful, danger, glass may break, please don’t walk under it” the sign says, but it’s a bit redundant, given that several of the panes have huge cracks and look like they can crumble any moment.
The theater was built in 1965, following the devastating 1963 earthquake, with help from the United Kingdom. The building has since decayed badly and was scheduled for thorough rebuilding as part of the Skopje 2014 project. But, the overthrow of the Gruevski Government in 2017 stopped the project and now the building is left as is, to decay further.
