Does my kid need to speak Polish?

The actors speak Polish. A lot of the show is visual, with drawings projected onto paper sets as the house goes up, so younger kids can follow the building even without the words.

Are the seats assigned?

No. Tickets are general admission, so come early if you want to sit close to the stage.

Is there parking near Firlej?

Yes, free street parking along Grabiszyńska and the side streets around it. There is also a city bike station right next to the venue.

About

Teatr Scena 96 from Warsaw stages the 1938 picture book by Franciszka and Stefan Themerson, in which Mr. Tom sets out to build a house from the foundations to the roof. Projections and cut-out sets turn Franciszka's black-and-white drawings into moving scenery, and Architect Angle explains how a building stands up. Parents may remember the book; kids get a short lesson in building and a world before cell phones.
