History[]
The theatre's history dates back to 1918, when Marian Dąbrowski, publisher and editor of Kraków's "Ilustrowany Kurier Codzienny" (English: Illustrated Daily Courier, commonly known as IKC, also Ikac) initiated the creation of the stage. The building was designed by architect during 1918 - 1919, and its interior was designed by painter and decorator .[1] A fire that broke out the night of 6/7 April 1928 completely destroyed the interior. In 1926, due to financial difficulties, the theatre was reclassified as a cinema. In 1938, the building was modernized and renamed "Scala". It became the most elegant cinema in Kraków.[1] Housed here during 1946 - 1948 was an intimate theatre. Since 1949 it has been home to the Państwowy Teatr Młodego Widza (English: State Theatre of the Young Viewer).[2] The Rozmaitości Theatre was established here in 1957. The theatre returned to being called Bagatela in 1970, and was dedicated to the memory of Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński in 1972.[3] The writer and doctor lived in a flat in the area for many years.[4]
Roman Polanski made his debut here as a young man.[5] The theatre was originally designed for children but nowadays shows musicals, comedies and other light entertainments suitable for families. [6]
