People
History
The Adam Mickiewicz Theatre was designed by outstanding Viennese architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer in the style of modernised late Viennese Baroque; it perfectly fits the urban design of the city. It has a seven-axis façade with a projection crowned by a triangle tympanum; the whole structure is covered by a tall, mansard roof. The interior design, with its rich decoration, is worth noticing, especially the decoration of the scenic frame, of the balconies and of the foyer. The latter has repeatedly attracted filmmakers: The Promised Land by Andrzej Wajda, as well as a television series about Helena Modrzejewska by Jan Łomnicki were shot here. The theatre does not have its own company of actors, but it organises impresario performances of theatres, music and dance groups, as well as cabarets. Some events, such as Theatre Workshops with the Master, the Theatre Festival WITHOUT BORDERS are held on a regular basis.
