Teatr Lalek Banialuka

Teatr Lalek Banialuka is a dedicated puppet theatre building in Bielsko-Biała with multiple performance spaces and stages. The facilities are designed to accommodate different styles of shows and productions throughout the year.

The theatre was established in 1947 by two artists and received its dedicated building in 1958. The transition from independent artistic venture to institutional presence shaped how the venue operates today.

The theatre is named after a character from Polish folk tales and serves as a cultural gathering place where audiences of all ages connect with storytelling traditions. This role makes it a space where families return year after year to experience puppet artistry.

The theatre presents shows throughout the year and advance booking is recommended to secure your preferred performance. Staff members can assist with information about current programming and seating arrangements.

The performances blend traditional puppet techniques with live actors and abstract geometric forms on stage. This experimental approach creates something unexpected that blurs the line between puppet and human theatre.
