Nowy Teatr, Contemporary theatre in Mokotów, Warsaw, Poland
Nowy Teatr is a theatre building in Mokotów housed in a converted industrial complex with multiple performance spaces. The structure includes rehearsal areas, a foyer with glass walls, and technical facilities for contemporary theatrical productions.
The building opened in 2016 on a site that served as a clay pit for brick production in the 19th century. The theatre itself was founded in 2008 and later operated from a former truck garage before moving to its current location.
The theatre takes its name from an experimental venue founded in the 1980s, known for its artistic boldness and risk-taking approach. This tradition carries on today through productions that engage directly with political and social questions.
The venue sits in a well-served area with good public transport connections and parking options nearby. Visitors should arrive early to explore the foyer and surroundings without crowds, especially on performance evenings.
The smooth glass walls of the foyer allow passersby a free view into the activities inside, blurring the boundary between street and stage. This sets the place apart from traditional theatres that seal themselves off from the outside world.
