Picture Title Date

"COLAS BREUGNON by Romain Rolland"
In a leadning role Stanislaw Górka. Colas Breugnonis a very pleasant spectacle in perception, funny, light, and above all full of simple wisdom. In 90 minutes Stanislaw Gorka becomes Colas, and for those who know Gorka it may seem that he is Colas for a long time. There is a lot of humor and a bit of irony and the lyrics of Georges Brassens complete the whole spectacle.
