The Polish cabaret world was surrounded by sorrow today. Joanna Kołaczkowska, a cult cabaret actress, a pillar of the Count's cabaret and author of countless smiles, died at the age of 59 after fighting cancer .

With great pain and sadness we inform that Joanna Kołaczkowska is gone...Our Asia.

She came to face the worst and most aggressive opponent. She fought bravely, with dignity, with hope. Me and her. Unfortunately, we have exhausted all available treatments. We believed in a miracle. The miracle didn't happen.

Asia left peacefully, without pain. Surrounded by loved ones and friends – among those she loved and loved She's boundless.

She left behind a huge tear that couldn't be filled. In us – people who were close to her, who shared a scene and a life with her. And in the world of art that was her space, her home, her breath, and she was his most beautiful personification.

Her talent cannot be compared – it was a phenomenon. Her presence is a gift. Its departure – a loss beyond grasp.

Thank you, Asia.

For the laughter, for the emotion, for the beauty and goodness that you carried in and gave to the world. To good.

You stay with us – in every memory, in every verse, in every silence that hurts more today than ever.

We believe that wherever you are now – smiling, clear, free – you carry your laughter to others, just as you brought us hope and joy, even on the darkest days. – The Count's Cabaret
