A bold contemporary theatre housed in post-industrial spaces in Nowa Huta. Its programme of new writing, festivals and community projects has helped reframe the district as a cultural destination. Worth checking the listings if you want to see modern Polish theatre away from the Old Town.
Laznia Nowa Theatre
Avant-garde theatre in a post-industrial Nowa Huta building staging contemporary Polish work

Founded in 2005 in a former vocational school's industrial halls, the theatre deliberately set up in Nowa Huta to make ambitious contemporary drama in a working-class district rather than the tourist centre, and has become one of Poland's most adventurous stages.
