The theater play “Haunted Land”, authored by Shqipe Malushi and directed by Zana Hoxha, started its international journey on March 12 with a presentation at the “Balkan Breeze” International Theater Festival of the Balkan Countries, which is held in Bursa, Turkey.

“Haunted Land” was presented on March 12, 2023 from 20:00, gathering about 300 art lovers in Bursa, Turkey.

This play is a performance based on the poems of Shqipe Malushi, which evoke our collective memories of the lack of peace and the confrontation with war and conflict as a constant condition for Kosovar society over the centuries and in particular its impact on our traumas between generations.

Created in a unique experimental format in Albanian and English, director Zana Hoxha’s performance creates a multidisciplinary synergy through Malushi’s imagery poems, Robert Nuha’s contemporary theater choreography, and Shpëtim Selman’s dramaturgy, experimental music with source elements and singing, as well as video projections that create a new narrative based on our collective memory.

“Haunted Land” through chronological acts describes one of the most important stages of Kosovars towards what they had dreamed of for centuries, freedom.
