+The idea of using small, economically viable, venues however, has been a tradition for a long time, also at festivals, particularly in economically depressed times. For example, Giles Tremlett (2013) has written about the proliferation of such venues in Spain. And the term micro theatre seems to be applied in this case as well. Similarly the  term "[[Micro Cinema]]" has been employed to refer to the rise of the small cinema venue.
 A form called "micro-theater" was portrayed by Samuel R. Delany in his science-fiction novel ''Triton''.
