“GATES OF tOMORROW”
MARGARITA XHEPA – ALBANIAN DIVA “STAGE AND SCREEN LIGHT-SHAD” Author MIHO GJINI
“There was an early adoration for this artist, since 50 years ago. I first got to know Margarita closely on the stage of the State Estrada, when I was teaching at the “Fulcit” school in Tirana. Once a month, the dormitory caretaker would bring us to the Estrada, where we couldn’t laugh without seeing him (as he had instructed us to laugh, we laughed too). However, when Margarita came out to recite, she would captivate us so much with the emotions and expressiveness of her beauty, that we would forget about the caretaker and jump to our feet, “screaming” with enthusiasm. Perhaps the passion for art “woke me up” then from her talent and suggestive power,” says Gjini.

WORKSHOP BY JERZY ZON. “OBJECT – BODY
(CREATING THE THEATRE SPACE).
In 1979, the renowned Polish director and actor Jerzy Zon began directing the KTO Theatre – a company made up of students who had started working together two years earlier. He soon began directing the company’s productions, and after their initial performances on stage, the company continued to perform abroad. By 2016, the group had performed in over 250 cities around the world.
Jerzy Zon has commented on his work thus:
“I build everything with images. Imagination must be unleashed. Anyone can light a fire, but it is more important to know how to put it out. I am not interested in talking – we actually do not talk at all. That is why I am very careful in the selection of music.
In my productions, the music is selected, refined, cut into pieces and reassembled.”
