Theater Scena STU, Municipal theatre in Kraków, Poland
Theater Scena STU occupies a former cinema building on Krasińskiego Street near the Vistula River, featuring a performance space with about 236 seats. The interior retains traces of its earlier purpose while functioning as a working theater that hosts productions throughout the year.
The theater was founded in 1966 as a student initiative led by Krzysztof Jasiński and occupied multiple locations before its current home. The move to the former cinema building on Krasińskiego Street marked a shift toward permanent stability in its operations.
The theater's name reflects its roots in experimental performance traditions that emerged during the 1970s with groundbreaking productions. Today, visitors experience that same commitment to unconventional storytelling and challenging perspectives in the work presented here.
The space is intimate, creating a direct relationship between stage and audience that makes the experience personal and immediate. Plan your visit timing carefully, as the location near the Vistula can be affected by seasonal water conditions.
The theater began in 1966 with only 27 seats and later operated from a circus tent before finding its permanent home. This nomadic early chapter reveals a spirit of resilience that continues to define how the venue operates today.
