Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the period of artistic activity of Waldemar Krygier in Nowa Huta. Krygier was a director and manager of the Ludowy Theatre from 1971-1974 and before that time he founded a famous student’s theatre, Studio 38, and also cooperated with Jerzy Grotowski. The author briefly analyses those performances by Krygier which became interesting for theatre critics, especially Biesy - his greatest theatrical achievement. As a manager and director, he ambitiously searched for the repertoire. During his term, the stage Nurt 71 was created - an interesting niche initiative.
