“A Kosovar Trilogy in Two Parts”, written by Jeton Neziraj and directed by Blerta Neziraj, premieres on 7 November 2026 at 20:00 at the Bekim Fehmiu City Theatre in Prizren. The co-production by Qendra Multimedia and the Prizren theatre forms part of the special edition of Kosovo Theatre Showcase, held on 6–8 November.
Between the European promise and exclusion
According to the creators’ published concept, the production approaches Kosovo’s relationship with Europe through satire, absurdity and humour. Its first part considers the effort to meet European standards; the second turns towards Europe itself, its contradictions and the bureaucracy mediating the promise of belonging.
The structure places integration within a broader question: who sets the conditions for admission, and who remains waiting? Recognition and visibility emerge as concerns connecting political relations with the circulation of art across Europe.
A debate that includes theatre itself
The concept also addresses hierarchies within the theatre industry: how artists are evaluated and which experiences are considered worthy of representation. This is the dramaturgical proposal’s particular interest: it connects a geopolitical relationship with cultural mechanisms of selection and legitimacy.
The cast includes Adrian Morina, Semira Latifi, Ernest Malazogu and Shpëtim Selmani. Music is by Gabriele Marangoni, choreography by Christina Fulcher, and video concept and design by Yannick Donet. This introduction draws on the announced programme and concept; an assessment of its stage execution requires attending the production.
