Situated at 68 Orange Street in the Gardens, Cape Town,
lies the Labia Theatre, the oldest independent art-repertory
cinema in the country.
The Labia, originally an Italian Embassy ballroom, was opened
by Princess Labia in May 1949 as a theatre for the staging
of live performances.
For the past twenty-nine years, it has been operating as
a cinema on the alternative circuit appealing mainly to
the more discerning viewer who enjoys its quality product
and the charm of its old-world ambience.
The Labia consists of four screens, a 176 seater, a 67
seater, an intimate 66 seater and the recent addition of
the MNET Screen 4.
Adding to the ambience, is a cosy coffee bar which offers
a variety of home-made delicacies. A chocolate bar also
caters for those preferring the popular sweets, coldrinks
and popcorn.
