The Helena Modrzejewska Theater in Legnica (Teatr im. Heleny Modrzejewskiej w Legnicy) is one of the most exciting and innovative theaters in Poland – known for its socially critical productions, unusual venues, and strong regional roots.
🎭 History & Namesake
Founded: 1977 as a professional theater ensemble in Legnica.
Naming: Since 1999, it has borne the name of the famous Polish actress Helena Modrzejewska (1840–1909), who was also celebrated internationally – especially in the USA.
Building: The theater is located in the historic building of the former city theater (Stadttheater Liegnitz), built in 1842 in the neoclassical style.
🎬 Profile & Special Features
Direction: Since 1994, the theater has been under the artistic direction of Jacek Głomb, who has transformed it into a center for socially engaged theater.
Venues:
In addition to the main stage, non-theatrical venues are also used – e.g., former barracks, factory halls, or train stations.
These "sites of dialogue" make the theater approachable and provocative.
Topics:
Focus on post-industrial reality, migration, identity, the past, and present of Lower Silesia.
Many plays are based on local stories or historical events from Legnica and the surrounding area.
🏆 Awards & Impact
Multiple awards, including the Polish Theater Prize and the Minister of Culture's Prize.
Guest performances throughout Europe – the theater is considered an export model for regional theater with international relevance.
