Na Pokrovke Theatre

Na Pokrovke Theatre is a performance venue housed in a traditional building on Pokrovka Street, containing multiple stage areas and modern equipment for theatrical productions. The building accommodates different performance formats and is designed to support both classical and experimental works.

The theatre was founded in 1991 during Russia's transition period after the Soviet Union's collapse, when new cultural institutions were emerging across Moscow. The venue became established as an independent theatrical space during this transformative era in Russian society.

The theatre hosts productions that blend classical Russian works with contemporary experimental pieces, attracting a diverse audience interested in theatrical innovation. The venue functions as a gathering place where different artistic visions are presented and discussed by both performers and spectators.

The theatre opens for visitors throughout the week with varying hours, and the box office accepts both cash and card payments for tickets and information. Checking the schedule ahead of your visit helps you plan which production to see and allows you to arrive when doors open.

The venue sits in the Basmanny district surrounded by other art spaces and galleries, creating a concentrated zone of cultural and performance activities in one neighborhood. This proximity to fellow arts venues makes the area a magnetic spot for anyone seeking diverse creative experiences.
