"Unknown and for good reason! For the first time in Paris, the Kosovo National Ballet reconstructs its history".
"A political work that depicts the aspirations of Kosovar society as it moves towards universal individual freedoms, a complex but unstoppable process" -.
"They are young people who have been refugees for twenty years or so, scattered across Europe, waiting to return to their homeland in peace".
A creation that highlights the Albanian culture of Kosovo and its future in the effective reconstruction of the country, recomposing with its past to better take into account current needs. An epic without exile, an artistic return to remember. We look at the stories of each dancer, all of whom immigrated during the war and have now returned, giving us a different perspective on the question of migratory flows. This piece reminds us of the extent to which the experience of otherness is the basis of the human being, of his or her experience of apprehending the world, of understanding and respecting the work that each person carries out in his or her own cultural and artistic field.
