Divadlo Bolka Polívky, Theatre at Jakubské náměstí, Brno, Czech Republic.

Divadlo Bolka Polívky is a theatre company founded by actor and mime Boleslav Polívka, which opened on 14 May 1993 with a revival of Podivné odpoledne Dr. Zvonka Burkeho. Since 2023 it has performed in the Sál Břetislava Bakaly in the Bílý dům on Žerotínovo náměstí in Brno; its former building on Jakubské náměstí now houses the Galerie u dvou Polívků.

The building on Jakubské náměstí housed Svobodné divadlo from 1947, renamed Městské oblastní divadlo in 1949 and Divadlo bratří Mrštíků in 1954. From 1965 to 1992 the Satirické divadlo Večerní Brno played there, called Divadlo u Jakuba from 1990. Bolek Polívka's theatre opened on 14 May 1993 and moved to Sál Břetislava Bakaly in 2023.

The theatre takes its name from Bolek Polívka, one of the best-known Czech actors and clowns, which gives the venue a recognizable identity. Productions here often mix comedy, poetry and physical performance in ways that feel personal rather than institutional.

The central position on Jakubské náměstí makes the theatre easy to reach on foot from most of the city center. It is worth checking the program in advance since the offering changes with each visiting company.

The theatre has no permanent acting ensemble or single style; its early repertoire consisted of productions transferred from Husa na provázku, where Polívka combined clowning, pantomime and straight acting. The Manéž Bolka Polívky show, made with Czech Television since 1987, has no fixed venue or schedule and usually runs once or twice a year.
