When night falls, cultural life takes on a new energy – Kraków never sleeps! We’ll find out for ourselves during Theatre Night. As always, major theatres and independent stages present the best spectacles of the last season.
The 15th Theatre Night features more than 60 cultural events! Most of the plays are in Polish, but we also have a few suggestions for our English-speaking audiences! :) The Białoprądnicki Manor Cultural Centre presents the English-language Lies, Lust, Repeat by the English Touring Theatre Company and Stage at Dietla Street offers Ways of Being directed by Clayton Lee and Michael Rubenfeld, while the Cracovia Danza Court Ballet brings Monsieur Moliere’s Invitation to Dance. There will also be plenty of outdoor performances. Head to the Main Market Square to meet Wood-distillers from the Kraków Street Theatre Kalejdoskop Stage and see the performance The Breath of Orient by the Mandragora Fire Theatre. What a night!
