Wojciech Malajkat Since last year, he has been heading for contemporary theater. Earlier he was a rector at the Theater Academy Aleksander Zelwerowicz in Warsaw and the artistic director of the Syrena Theater. Hardly anyone can boast of such experience in the artistic industry. No wonder that Malajkat decided to pass on to younger generations. “I was really supposed to be a teacher. Dreams of acting did not spend my sleep. I wasn't awakening with great desire to become an actor. But he stayed, “he explained. Recently, in an interview with the portal, he shared a surprising curiosity about his performances. Not everyone knew about it.
Wojciech Malajkat does not bow after the performance. Reason?
Those who were at the performances in which the actor performed could pay attention to a rather interesting element. Malajkat never bows during ovation. Instead, he stands straight and smiles at the gathered audience. “For many years I have not been bending when the audience applauded and thank the actors and actresses for the spectacle. During each performance I bear emotional, physical and mental costs. Viewers, moreover, too. This is theater. I do not bow because I associate it with asking for alms. Besides, if I bowed, I wouldn't see the joy of the audience written on the faces of the audience all the time, “he betrayed the Pleiades.
Other colleagues from the industry were also to follow in the footsteps of the actor. “Andrzej Seweryn convinced my arguments. I don't know how it is now, but when we played together, he stood next to me after the performance and he didn't bow either. Just like mine friend Grzegorz Turnau. He also took over this custom from me. As far as I know, nobody complains about it, it doesn't bother anyone ” – he added.
Wojciech Malajkat was inspired by a great musician
It turns out that the inspiration for this gesture was Luciano Pavarotti himself. “I watched great concerts with his participation. When they ended, the audience rewarded him with an ovation, and he did not bow, but went out into the center with a great handkerchief, smiled radiantly and opened his arms wide” – Malajkat recalled. The actor did not want to copy the music, so he decided to come up with his own version.
