Polish actor feels bad onstage at Brest festival

A performance of a Polish theatre “Provisorium” from Lublin has to be cancelled at the festival “White Tower”. According to “Brest Newspaper”, the reason for it was a sudden physical impairment of actor Yaroslaw Tamitsa. The performance “Emigrants” started according to the schedule at 6 p.m. on September 14. However, 48-year-old Tamitsa suddenly started having problems with his heart. The actor tried to play his part anew, but had to apologize to viewers a bit later as he could not continue working and left the stage.

The audience thought it was part of the performance and did not leave. However, it turned out that it was not a joke. An ambulance was called for the actor.

The organizers said that viewers who had bought tickets to the performance could exchange them for tickets to other performances in box offices of the festival.
