"Operetta" by Gombrowicz, director: Jerzy Grzegorzewski, stage design: Barbara Hanicka, from the left: Paulina Kinaszewska (Albertynka), Ignacy Gogolewski (Count Szarm), Waldemar Kownacki (Butler Władysław), Sławomir Federowicz (Petty Thief). “Operetta” – “the monumental operetta going hand in hand with the monumental pathos of history: an operetta mask concealing the bloody visage of mankind, contorted by a ridiculous pain” – wrote Witold Gombrowicz about his own play. A great comeback of Ignacy Gogolewski to the National Theatre in the role of Count Szarm.
