The Juliusz Słowacki Theatre in Krakow

Tomasz Wysocki

Theatre has beaten the Naval School and journalism. It has beaten the bench in front of my block of flats... It has beaten the mockery of my friends, the smirks of my aunts and uncles during family parties, and my mother's despair. It has beaten my laziness and numerous moments of discouragement. When my father was dying – I acted. When my children were born – I acted. I acted with a broken leg. I acted with a broken heart. I have been acting for over 25 years. It was worth it. It still is.
