Baj Pomorski Theater, Puppet theater in Toruń, Poland
Baj Pomorski Theater is a puppet theater in Torun with a building whose facade looks like a large wooden wardrobe decorated with ornate details. The auditorium holds 304 seats after renovation and includes modern lighting and sound systems that allow for different types of productions.
The theater was founded in 1945 in Bydgoszcz under Irena Pikiel-Samorewiczowa's leadership and moved to Torun in 1946. It took over the former German Castle Theatre and became rooted in the city's cultural life.
The theater presents shows for children and adults using puppets, modern scripts, and learning programs that bring the community together. This mix of entertainment and education makes it a place where families and schools gather regularly.
The theater sits in the center of Torun on Piernikarska Street and is easy to reach on foot. It is best to check the schedule in advance since show times change depending on the season and type of performance.
The building's facade was purposely designed to look like a large wooden wardrobe, an unexpected design choice that sparks imagination. This creative architecture makes the theater instantly recognizable as a landmark in Torun's old town.
