finished. 1950
After being closed for almost 10 years Kino Ochota was reopened in January of 2010 as Och-Teatr. THe building was leased for 20 years by the owners (MaxFilm) to Krystyna Janda's theater company. The building will be another stage for the very succesful theater. It already has a busy schedule of edgy plays and concerts. And what a great trend that a movie theater is being converted into a stage. Who says theater is dead?
The building was not in great shape and it has had its roof and windows replaced for the opening. It was added to the register of historic landmarks in early 2009 so I hope these renovations were well done. The overall geometry of the building is pleasing, the entrance is its most decorative feature with a delicately angled canopy and a sort of fish-scale sandstone facade detail.
