In PITF 2019, Begovska comes along with fellow actors from the play “I’m Actor Human”, Tome Stankovski and Darijan Petrov.

These three actors actively communicate with the audience throughout the stories they share, seeking support and approval for the difficulties they face, and the empathy they provoke for them, which is a sense of self that we see through another’s perspective.

The whole actor-audience game is conveyed through a comical way, in which sadness and suffering become ludicrous and meaningless.

”I’m actor human” will play on the third night of the festival.

Do not miss it! #PITF2019

‘’Moskov Selim’’ është një produksion i Teatrit Papalangki në Greqi, me tekst të Georgios Vizyinos dhe në regji të Tasos Angelopoulos.

Në rolet e shfaqjes janë: Elli Sarri, Maria Constanta, Angelos Prokopios Nerantzis dhe Christos Tsavlidis.

• 

‘’Moskov Selim’’, kryevepra që flet për historinë e një turku, i cili dëshiron të bëhet rus, shkruar nga një Grek gjatë shekullit XIX. Georgios Vizyinos, autori, është një nga shkrimtarët më të veçantë Grekë të shekullit XIX. Lindur dhe rritur në Thraki, ai përshkruan në tregimet e tij fatin e përbashkët të popujve të Ballkanit në fund të shekullit XIX dhe nën sundimin otoman.

Performanca, duke u mbështetur në materiale nga tradita e zakonshme e popujve të Ballkanit, na çon, në një mënyrë imagjinare, në Thrakinë multikulturore dhe historinë e trazuar të shekullit XIX, duke e lidhur të djeshmen me të sotmen.

Përmes narracionit të aventurave të heroit të tij, shkrimtari na fton të zbulojmë tjetrin pranë nesh dhe në fund, ta kuptojmë veten.

Shfaqja do të jepet të marten, më 5 nëntor 2019, nga ora 19:30.

Ju mirëpresim.

The time of PITF 2019 is nigh..

The third edition of ”Pristina International Theater Festival” 2019, will begin on Monday, November 4th.

On the first night, PITF will have its opening ceremony, and alongside this opening, a guest performance of ‘The Frog’ will be played, which does not compete in the program with the rest of the plays.

“The Frog” is a deeply affecting drama by Croatian author Dubravko Mihanovic adapted for Kosovo viewers by playwright Seadet Beqiri, starring Ilir Tafa, Donat Qosja, Basri Shala and Valmir Krasniqi.

The traumas of war portrayed in this play, directed by Burbuqe Berisha and assistant-director Ledri Vula, elaborate on the painful truth that has followed all levels of Kosovar society even 20 years after the war.

After this show, as well as every show thereafter, there will be an after-party program for the visitors to have fun and socialize.

We can’t wait for you to be a part of the only international theater festival in Kosovo. We welcome you on Monday.

Edicioni i tretë i festivalit të vetëm ndërkombëtar të teatrove në Kosovë, tashmë ka hyrë në fazën finale të përgatitjeve.

Nga data 04-09 nëntor 2019, në dy skenat e Teatrit AAB “Faruk Begolli” në Kolegjin AAB, do të ngjiten shtatë trupa artistike në programin konkurrues, të cilat vijnë nga Kosova, Maqedonia e Veriut, Greqia, Bullgaria e Kroacia.

• 

Programit garues të këtij edicioni, do t’ i paraprijë shfaqja nikoqire, prodhim i Teatrit AAB “Bretkosa” në regji të Burbuqe Berishës, e cila do të jepet jashtë programit garues, në natën e 04 nëntorit.

Edicioni i tretë i PITF2019, vjen më i veçantë nga ana vizuale për shkak të brendingut. Hyjnesha në fron, që është simbol i këtij festivali ndërkombëtar, këtë vit vjen me një lule Irisi në kokë. Lulja iris në mitologji është simbol i numrit 3 (tre), dhe përfaqëson besimin, urtësinë dhe guximin.

Andaj duke dashur të theksohet besimi se duke vepruar me urtësi dhe guxim, mund t’ ia dalim të krijojmë një festival i cili do të përmendet larg dhe gjatë, moto e edicionit të tretë do të jetë pikërisht kjo: Besim. Dije. Guxim.

Sikur edhe në edicionet e mëhershme, ajo që e dallon PITF, përveç programit ndërkombëtar, është edhe programi përcjellës në mbrëmjet pas shfaqjeve, ku të gjithë pjesëmarrësit do të kenë mundësi të argëtohen nga bende e artistë të ndryshëm.

Përveç kësaj, vet ambienti universitar ku zhvillohet ky festival, krijon një atmosferë më ndryshe sepse dominon vrulli rinor, andaj janë arsye më shumë këto për ta ndjekur PITF 2019, sepse i kontribuojmë kulturës dhe ndjekim trendët e të rinjve.

Festivali do të ketë dy lloj biletash: festival pass që do të jetë e vlefshme për të gjithë programin dhe biletat e veçanta për shfaqje.

Studentët do të kenë prioritet sepse biletat do t’ u ofrohen me çmime speicale, ndërsa po ashtu edhe transporti nga qyteti në kampusin e Kolegjit AAB do të jetë gratis për të gjithë vizitorët.

Biletat do të dalin në shitje gjatë javës, prandaj ajo që mbetët të bëni, është të rezervoni ato dhe të mos e huqni asnjë nga mbrëmjet e PITF 2019.
