“UNRECOGNIZED” will be performed at the Experimental National Theatre “Kujtim Spahivogli” in Tirana on 5 November 2026 at 20:00. Written by Davit Gabunia and Jeton Neziraj and directed by Data Tavadze, the production examines war, displacement and belonging.
Drawing on Iphigenia in Tauris, it combines personal testimony, documentary material, fiction and humour to explore contested borders and the power to recognise or exclude others.
The cast features Ellen Jelinek, Kateryna Kisten, Kato Kalatozishvili, Maria Salomaa, Johannes Wanselow and Shkëlqim Islami. Music is by Nikoloz Pasuri, with set design, lighting and video by Ludde Falk.
The international co-production brings Qendra Multimedia together with theatre partners from Georgia, Sweden, Ukraine and North Macedonia. It premiered at the Albanian Theatre in Skopje on 10 October 2026. Following Tirana, the tour continues to Prizren on 8 November and to Swedish theatres later in the month.
