Teatr im. Wilama Horzycy, Professional theater company in Toruń, Poland.
The Teatr im. Wilama Horzycy is a professional theater company in Toruń that began operations in 1904. The building was designed by Viennese architects Hermann Helmer and Ferdinand Fellner and features electric lighting and central heating systems.
The company was founded in 1904 and the building sustained damage to its facade during World War II. The postwar reconstruction process gradually restored the structure to operational condition.
The company has hosted the Kontakt International Theatre Festival since 1991, bringing together performers and audiences from around the world each year. This gathering has become a major event for contemporary theater across Europe.
The theater offers performances throughout the year and allows ticket purchases through its website. Check the schedule in advance to find shows that match your interests during your visit.
In 1934, the interior was redesigned and the color scheme changed from red and gold to silver to reflect modern design standards of the time. This transformation was part of a broader modernization of the building's interior spaces.
