state theater
Publicly funded venue
State theater refers to a theater company officially supported and funded by a national or regional government, common in European countries where the arts receive substantial public subsidy: The Burgtheater is Austria's state theater.
The term also describes theatrical spectacles orchestrated by governments for propaganda purposes—elaborate ceremonies, trials, or events staged to project power or legitimacy: The dictator's funeral was pure state theater.
