Smile - 130 Years Charlie Chaplin – with Laura Chaplin for Caritas

 

Charity Gala on 2. Oktober at Theater Akzent with Star Guest Laura Chaplin

 

«His humanism, his creativity, his love of people and his devotion to circus and clowns are always present despite his death.

We can learn from him to see the positive, to be creative, to pursue our dreams unwaveringly, not to be discouraged and never to forget that laughter helps against the "bad luck of life". » Laura Chaplin

 

 

...because life is still worthwhile - if you'll just smile
