Allegretto Albania

"Allegretto Albania" a play written by Stefan Capaliku and directed by Alfred Trebitska will have its premiere on the stage of the Albanian Theatre in Skopje. The cast includes Bajrush Mjaku, Teuta Ajdini– Jegeni, Luran Ahmeti, Vebi Qerimi, Vjollca Bekteshi, and Musa Isufi. The stage design in by Srgjan Mitrovic, and Valentina Pajaziti is the costume designer. Music selection has been made by the director himself. A man commits murder and flees. The family he left behind is forced to hide so as not to be targeted by a vendetta. In a remote house in the Albanian mountains, a father, a mother and two sons sit and wait. A classical concert titled “Allegretto Albania” is shown on television round the clock. Volunteers from aid organizations constantly bring them useless technical equipment, and the family gathers around the kitchen table to read the criminal code every evening. Stefan Çapaliku has written an absurd, comic parable of post-communist life in a country, in which thousands of men are still forced to live confined to their homes because their families are feuding.
