OPEN DISCUSSION – The future of Albanian theatre!?

Thursdebat i teatritday, 13th February 2014, 19.00: The future of the Albanian Theatre!? – Open debate.

Is the Albanian theatre vegetating in shallow waters?
Is there any space for young actors and directors to produce and contribute their work?
Is the varieté dead- a genre so liked and followed by the spectators before the 90s?
Has the time come to develop an experimental theatre scene throughout Albania?
Does the Academy of Fine Arts “produce” artists or does it supply diploma only?
Is our national theatre scene controlled by the so-called culture mafia?
Is it time for artists to speak up and give their opinion a public voice?

These and other questions will be discussed on Thursday February 13th at 19.00 at Tirana Ekspres/ Station No. 1.
If you want to contribute, you are very welcome to join this topic!

THE GLASSES. LIVE CONCERT

the glassesThe Glasses. Live Concert Indie Rock / Rock ‘n’ Roll.
08/02/2014 at 21.30 hrs.

The Glasses are a four-piece Indie Rock band from Prishtina, the band consists of Flamur Xhiku on lead vocals and guitar, Asdren Jonuzi on guitar, Zgjim Elshani on bass and Pajazit Dërmaku on drums.

Formed by the end of the year 2007 the band began rehearsing in dark cold garages and any places they could find for some rock ‘n’ roll, “and even if we got kicked out from a garage we tried not to give up and looked for another location”. Their first gig was in a Red Cross Youth party on 04.01.2008, and after that invaded the whole city with their performances in many venues around Kosova and even in the region. Many people are describing them as the most exciting new band.

The group continued to hone and develop their own sound and began to write own songs and played them live at shows. In March 2009 they recorded their first Ep with two tracks Toy boy and Nightlights. Now The Glasses just finished their debut album entitled “Staring From Behind” with 11 tracks on and is available now at stores.

Entry : 300 Leke.

REMEMBRANCE OF ROMA GENOCIDE

Monday, 27th January 2014: International Day of  Commemoration of the Vicitims of Holocaust!

18:00 Opening of the exhibition Shiko dhe Mos Harro

18:30 Documentary movie: “A People Uncounted” (watch the trailer here: http://youtu.be/e7slCGDaSWY)

On occasion of the International Day of Commemoration of the Victims of the Holocaust (January 27th) the NGO Roma Active Albania (RAA), based in Tirana, presents Shiko dhe Mos Harro, an exhibition on the remembrance of the Roma Genocide convicted by the Nazis during the World War II.
In August 2013 young Roma and Non-Roma from all over Europe came together to commemorate the day of the liquidation of the “Zigeunerlager” in Auschwitz in 1944. During four days they were gathering in workshops and discussion rounds to learn about this widely unknown part of the Holocaust and to work on an active culture of remembrance to fight antigypsyism, racism, hate speech and extremism in Europe.
RAA wants to share this experience and promote the recognition of the Roma Genocide in a wider public in Albania. After the opening of the exhibition there will be a screening of the documentary movie “A People Uncounted” to give more insight to the topic of Roma Genocide in general.

Roma Active Albania in Cooperation with Tirana Ekspres.
