About

The Łaźnia Nowa Theatre in Kraków is one of the city’s most innovative cultural spaces, known for its bold artistic voice and strong ties to the Nowa Huta community. Established in a former workers’ bathhouse, the theatre has transformed an industrial setting into a vibrant hub for contemporary performance. Its repertoire focuses on socially engaged, thought‑provoking productions that explore modern identity, politics, and the challenges of everyday life. Directors and actors experiment with form and narrative, creating performances that are immersive, dynamic, and often surprising. The theatre is also a key organiser of major cultural events, including festivals that bring international artists and new perspectives to Kraków. With its raw architecture, energetic programming, and commitment to dialogue with the audience, Łaźnia Nowa stands out as a space where art meets social reality and where theatre becomes a catalyst for reflection and change.
