Discover the Garden of the Wrocław Mime Theatre

Workshope in the garden (2023) by Rafał SkwarekWroclaw Mime Theatre

The garden of the Wrocław Mime Theatre is a green space measuring nearly 300 m2, and at the same time a stage, a cinema hall, a dance floor, a rehearsal room, a place for neighborhood picnics, workshops for children and other theater and animation activities.

We use the yard both in summer and winter



at Aleja Dębowa 16, as a stage for repertoire performances, which we carry out using the site-specific technique, i.e. a form that creatively uses a specific space as a set and an element building the stage action.

In summer, the garden becomes the home of the Baron and Baroness family, their guests and servants involved in a series of intrigues and not entirely obvious relationships. Los Mimos is a collective creation of a group of actors under the artistic supervision of Leszek Bzdyl.
