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

Charlie Chaplin stands for humor, positive thinking and entertainment with attitude. Therefore, I think the idea of celebrating his birthday with a gala for a Caritas charity project is a very nice idea. "Ms. Doris Schmidauer, Ambassador of Caritas
Who does not know him - the little guy with mustache, melon and bamboo stick? Charlie Chaplin - at the same time funny clown and sensitive artist, who watched the social upheavals of his time with a keen eye, would have turned 130 this year.
