(Purpose) This study investigates the heritagization potential of disappearing small theaters in Daehangno, Seoul, under conditions of accelerated gentrification. Once central to Korea’s experimental performing arts ecosystem, these venues are rapidly disappearing due to rising rents and commercial redevelopment. (Design/methodology/approach) The study examines 53 small theaters documented in Regional Cultural and Arts Resources Series Vol. 3 using thematic and content analysis. It analyzes historical trajectories, operational changes, spatial transformations, and closure patterns, situating the findings within heritagization theory and intangible cultural heritage discourse. (Findings) Findings indicate that Daehangno’s small theaters functioned as place-based cultural infrastructures supporting creative experimentation, informal artistic networks, and collective memory. Gentrification has eroded not only physical theater spaces but also repertoire diversity, creative continuity, and place identity. Heritagization potential depends on four key conditions: recognition of place-based cultural value, documentation of intangible performance practices, institutional protection mechanisms, and participatory local governance. (Originality/value) This study reframes performing arts venues as living heritage processes rather than static architectural assets. By integrating heritagization theory with urban cultural policy, it offers a novel analytical framework for safeguarding disappearing cultural spaces in rapidly transforming cities.
