We are delighted to announce that the President of the Republic of Poland has awarded Ms Ewa Piotrowska, Director of the Baj Theatre in Warsaw, with a state decoration – the Silver Cross of Merit.
Today, the decoration for artistic activity was presented on behalf of the President by the Governor of Mazovia, Mr Mariusz Frankowski. This special moment took place on the eve of the celebration of World Puppetry Day, which symbolically falls on 21 March, established by the UNIMA International Association of Puppeteers.

We must also not overlook the fact that the conferring of this honour comes at a special time for the Baj Theatre, as this year is the season in which the Theatre celebrates its 95th anniversary.
We are proud and happy to be part of this extraordinary institution.

We are extremely proud to have the privilege of working in a Theatre run by Ms. Piotrowska, a person appreciated in many fields. Her commitment, talent and dedication to the art of puppetry are an inspiration to us all.

In addition to her role as Director and Head of the Baj Theatre, Ms Ewa Piotrowska is also President of the Polish Puppetry Centre POLUNIMA, which further emphasises her importance and influence in the world of puppet theatre.

The Silver Cross of Merit, a Polish civilian state decoration, is a symbol of recognition for services to the State or citizens. Awarding it to Ms. Ewa Piotrowska is proof that her work and contributions in the field of culture are appreciated not only by institutions but also by the community.

On behalf of the Baj Theatre and all the staff and supporters of the institution, we would like to congratulate Ms Ewa Piotrowska on this honour and thank her for her continued commitment and contribution to the development of Polish puppet theatre.

With best regards,
The Baj Theatre Team

We are delighted to announce that Ewa Piotrowska, Director of Warsaw’s Baj Theatre, has been elected President of POLUNIMA – the Polish section of the UNIMA International Puppetry Association.

The election took place on 25 June 2023, during POLUNIMA’s General Assembly, which took place at the Białystok Puppet Theatre. The new authorities of the Polish section of the Association have been elected, with Ewa Piotrowska becoming the first woman in POLUNIMA’s history to serve as President.

Ewa Piotrowska has served as vice-president of POLUNIMA for the past four years and now becomes the first woman to head this prestigious association. Her selection is not only a recognition of her work and commitment, but it is also a hugely important accolade for the Baj Theatre, which she directs and whose 95th-anniversary celebrations fall in this lofty year.

It is worth mentioning that the Baj Theatre has a long and distinguished history of association with the puppeteers’ association, which has been intertwined on many levels since its inception. POLUNIMA is part of the UNIMA International Centre for Puppetry Arts, the idea of which dates back to 1928, exactly when the Baj Theatre began.

The directors of the Baj Theatre have always participated in the Polish and international UNIMA and POLUNIMA meetings, and Baj’s performances have often been featured at festivals and reviews organized by the associations. Between 1972 and 1980, when UNIMA’s general director was Henryk Jurkowski, the organization’s office was moved to Warsaw and the board was for a time-based in the premises of the Baj Theatre.
The Baj Theatre was also home to the editorial office, published by POLUNIMA, of the magazine “Puppet Theatre”.

We wish a lot of success to both Madam President and the entire POLUNIMA Polish Puppetry Centre.
