Is there anyone in the World who doesn’t believe in miracles? Who at least once in a lifetime has not dreamed of flying into the fantastic land, where icy branches in winter look like cristal candelabrums, rivers in summer are full of honey and meadows are like carpets of flowers? Maybe you have dreamed of a secret castle in the middle of a dark forest? It could have tall windows as high as the building itself and the people inside walking like inert shadows… Miraculous tales written by I. B. Singer can wake up even the most sleepy imagination. We invite to the World that smells like childhood. There, by the Hanukkah lamp, the beautiful and terryfing story is being told. Miracles can happen…
Paweł Paszta
