Ludowy Theatre

About

The Ludowy Theatre (literally: People's Theatre, Polish: Teatr Ludowy) a historic theater located in the 34 Teatralne Estate in Nowa Huta, the former district of Kraków, Poland.

Opened on 3 December 1955. At that time in the Polish People's Republic, the official policy of socialist realism in art and social life came to an end and de-Stalinization was taking place, heading for its culmination in the events of Polish October. The Ludowy quickly became known as the city's prime avant-garde stage thanks to collaboration of eminent artists, including the theatre theoretician and painter Józef Szajna, Tadeusz Kantor (both from the Academy of Fine Arts), Lidia Zamkow, Krystyna Zachwatowicz, and others.
