Rafał Dziwisz actor

I think three values are needed to make someone feel fulfilled in my profession: People, Place and Purpose. If you are given at least one of these, you’re lucky. But when you get all three, you should be grateful to your destiny for this gift, and give all your strength, all your creative sensitivity, and all your best energy back to these People, Place and Purpose. For the last thirty years, I have been fortunate to find such People, Places and Purposes. And I want to offer myself to my theatre, to my students, to my roles. Do I feel fulfilled? As Wyspiański said, ‘More... more... till dawn’.
