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 95, 67 seater, and an intimate 66 seater.

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.


The Labia is run by Ludi and Ann Kraus
