Polish Club General W. Sikorski WA Inc and Polonia WA invite you to the Polish Festival – Polish Cultural Extravaganza from 8 and 16 November 2025 – Celebration of Polish Culture on the occasion of the 107th anniversary of Poland regaining independence.
This is a two-weekend event:
Day 2Â – Sunday 9 November 2025 at 5:30 PM
Official Ceremony and Concert
“My Piaf”
Sings: Paulina Czechanowska
My Piaf
“Every woman carries within herself her own song – sometimes joyful, sometimes filled with pain, but always true.”
My Piaf is a moving musical monodrama inspired by the life and artistry of Édith Piaf. It takes audiences on a journey through emotion, passion, and feminine strength. It is a story of women’s lives – their loves, disappointments, hopes, and dreams – universal and timeless, transcending cultures and generations.
In the leading role is Paulina Czechanowska, a talented actress from Bristol (UK), embodying a woman engaged in an intimate dialogue with Piaf. Interweaving her own memories and experiences with those of the legendary French singer, Paulina discovers that Piaf’s songs reflect the life of every woman – full of highs and lows, yet always carrying hope.
The performance blends dramatic monologue with Piaf’s unforgettable songs, including La Vie en Rose, Non, je ne regrette rien, and Milord, presented in fresh, unique arrangements. Words and music intertwine to create an intimate atmosphere where each audience member can find echoes of their own story.
Will we hear in Piaf’s voice the resonance of our own lives? Will it inspire us to sing our own song?
We invite you to this unique, emotional encounter with music, theatre, and the female soul.
