At the core of this essay are the paradoxes of Kosovo, the youngest country in Europe as reflected in the theatre of Jeton Neziraj from Pristina, one of the most representative playwrights in the Balkans. Neziraj’s controversial and often censored texts, written in an absurd and ironic style, deal with current and burning social topics in Kosovo, the paradoxical realm of instability, controlled ethnic minorities, religious fundamentalism, nationalism, racism, immigration, homophobia, and corruption. For his plays, he has been blamed as “antipatriotic”, “Yugonostalgic”, and a “betrayer of national interests”. This essay includes interviews with the author, reflections on the contrasts and suffering of this “newborn” country, and descriptions of the theatre performances directed by Blerta Rrustemi Neziraj.
I paradossi del Kosovo, il più giovane Paese europeo nel teatro del drammaturgo Jeton Neziraj di Pristina, uno dei più rappresentativi e politici autori dei nuovi Balcani, sono al centro del saggio di Anna Maria Monteverdi. I suoi controversi testi spesso censurati dalle autorità, trattano con stile surreale, di attuali e scottanti tematiche: minoranze etniche, fondamentalismi religiosi, nazionalismi, razzismo, immigrazione, omofobia e corruzione per il quale viene etichettato come “antipatriottico”, “Yugonostalgico”, detrattore degli interessi nazionali”. Il saggio contiene interviste all’autore, riflessioni sui contrasti e sulle sofferenze del nuovo Stato e descrizioni degli spettacoli diretti da Blerta Rrustemi Neziraj.

Abstract
At the core of this essay are the paradoxes of Kosovo, the youngest country in Europe as reflected in the theatre of Jeton Neziraj from Pristina, one of the most representative playwrights in the Balkans. Neziraj’s controversial and often censored texts, written in an absurd and ironic style, deal with current and burning social topics in Kosovo, the paradoxical realm of instability, controlled ethnic minorities, religious fundamentalism, nationalism, racism, immigration, homophobia, and corruption. For his plays, he has been blamed as “antipatriotic”, “Yugonostalgic”, and a “betrayer of national interests”. This essay includes interviews with the author, reflections on the contrasts and suffering of this “newborn” country, and descriptions of the theatre performances directed by Blerta Rrustemi Neziraj.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
