Rafał Szumera

I stumbled into the theatre by accident; it was raining. I was standing in the Holy Spirit Square all alone, soaking wet. At one point, the rainstorm had washed away the smog, and a magnificent castle appeared to my eyes, the one I had asked a goldfish for while fishing in the Vistula River one summer day to feed my family. It turned that they had a cafeteria in the theatre – so I don’t fish any more. One day I’d like to play Dratewka the Shoemaker or the Wawel Dragon. I don't like acting on Thursdays because I can't watch Sprawa dla reportera TV programme. All the best to you and have a great time with art!
