Teatro Uamá is an Art Deco theatre in Carmelo, Colonia Department, Uruguay, built in 1928. The building exemplifies the modernist aesthetic that swept through South American cities during the interwar period, combining the geometric forms and streamlined ornament characteristic of Art Deco design. Constructed to serve both theatrical performances and cinema, it reflects Carmelo's cultural ambitions in the early twentieth century.
