"One of the most fascinating acting talents in Polish theater…"—as Jerzy Jarocki once described him. I would add: one of the most fascinating literary minds as well. A hero of Mrożek’s plays and Dostoevsky’s novels. Doctor Faust and Wielki Szu (The Great Szu). To me, he was not just a friend and guide through the world of theater but, above all, Grand Duke Konstanty from Stanisław Wyspiański’s November Night in Andrzej Wajda’s legendary staging.
