Shkrepëtima, 2018

SHKREPËTIMA is a performance by the artist Petrit Halilaj involving over 30 actors and musicians. The event, which took place in front of the ruins of the House of Culture in Runik (Skenderaj), represents Halilaj’s first major intervention in a public space. The stage was animated by moving sculptures, sounds, lights and an exceptional scenography created by Halilaj from the ruins of the building and inspired by the collective memory of Runik citizens. SHKREPËTIMA brings back fragments from some of the most prominent Albanian plays that were performed in the theater of this building in the 80s. I was involved in this project as a dramaturge.
