For the first time in Albania, one of the most beautiful works of world dramaturgy has been staged.

"Vasha Zheleznova" by Maksim Gorki, directed by Enke Fezollari, premiered yesterday evening at the Andon Zako Çajupi theater in Korça.

For two months, he has been working with the troupe of this theater as well as other well-known actors, bringing this work to Albania for the first time.

The last time a work by Gorky was staged was in 1962. This work is centered around a mother who has to take care of the boss and her children who want to take the wealth even though they don't want the work.

Strong messages and a lot of humor are conveyed by the actors while the audience has welcomed them amid laughter but also strong and dramatic emotions.

The main actress who entrusted you with the role of the mother is precisely the prostitute Zamira Kita. The artist tells the story of this work, which contains not only dramatic situations, family conflicts, radical decisions, but also a mix of emotions, including pain, disappointment, love, but also notes of joy.

For Zamira, this role is one of the most special and with the most responsibility, while she is very happy that she had the chance to play it in Korça.

"Vasha Zheleznova, one of Maxim Gorky's most important and beautiful works of not only Russian but also world dramaturgy, comes to Albania for the first time. It is a great pleasure to be performed in the theater of Korça, the troupe is fantastic. We have only 2 receptions from abroad, Urim Aliaj a young boy and Rita Gjekaj the actress from Shkodra.

It is a work that deals with the problems of the family, of the family all over the world, but we focus on the Albanian family, why not the Korçar family. There are problems that accompany the family in the division of property, the way they conflict with each other, how the inheritance goes, how the children are educated. It also deals with the problem of children with different abilities, it has to do with their health and all these things that compels a mother to do.

Why does Vasha take such radical decisions, which are experienced with pain and emotion because she sees that her children are not able to govern. She hates lazy people, but she often comes across lazy people in her family and society. Therefore, he undertakes to manage everything himself.

She has suffered a lot from her husband, she gives the most frightening details and when he has done a lot of meanness and is about to go to prison, for this she asks him to drink poison and die and escape immediately. After that, its whole course has joy, joy, very beautiful Russian music and great excitement.

I am very satisfied and very happy. Fortunately for me, we don't have another actress of my age in Korça, it was thought that I would be Vasha. There are many actresses in Albania who can play her, but it is my fate and I hope to make a beautiful Vashë that will be liked by the public."

The other main role is that of Anna, the daughter of the house, a role which the director entrusted to the actress Paola Kodra. Paola says to Cna TV that for her this role is a big challenge, while the experience during these months in rehearsals has been one of the most beautiful and challenging.

"My role is quite a special one this time, unlike the other times I've been used to comic roles or character roles. This time I've faced a bit of a challenge because it's a full-on role and one of the girl leads.

Also, the experience was very challenging because the director was also one of the directors who does not give up on anything, very demanding and very knowledgeable about the theater. I believe that together we have managed to do a very good job and I hope that the public will follow and embrace this show as I think it is very relevant and includes all age groups."

On the other hand, there is one of the sons of the house, Semion, whose role was taken by the actor Kejdi Gishto. For Cade, this character is quite complicated as a man who is controlled by his wife and as a promiscuous, psychopathic and alcoholic person. The message conveyed through this character is related to young people who want to become independent but need the push from their parents.

"To tell you the truth, I regretted it a lot because of my commitments, I thought it was an overload for me, but as the days went by, I really liked it as a role and as a work. It was a bit tiring for me physically but I believe I succeeded to some extent. My role is the eldest son of the house, the guy who will definitely leave his family and continue his life even though he can't make it. It is one of these men who is led by his wife , promiscuous, alcoholic, a bit psychopathic. The message my character conveys is that the youth need to escape but must be encouraged by the old to do so."

Blerta Belliu plays the role of Natalia, that Russian woman who carries worries and concerns but does not express them. This character is very comical in this drama and that makes him more special as a role. Blerta says that many girls will find themselves in this character and can change the perception of their life.

"Natalia is a character that I have started living with for 2 months, I love her very much. Natalia represents that Russian but also Balkan and Albanian woman who carries a lot of worries and concerns but can't tell them. Because we can't we can talk, people take us for granted and perhaps unwittingly begin to lighten up and this lightness as a character, Natalia becomes very comical. I can say that she is a character in Gorky's work that has very comical nuances but deep down she carries the drama It's a very beautiful character that many girls will find themselves in, and I hope that through my character, they will change their perception about life and everything in their lives."

The character with a dramatic ending is exactly that of the house cleaner, who is also Semyon's lover. This character is Lipa played by the actress Ilda Pepi, who has embraced this role quite well as she is in love with dramatic roles.

"I have the role of the maid of the house, Lipa, she is not just the maid but also the lover of one of the boys of the house. She is one of the most dramatic characters in this work because of the family she lives in and the way she is related to Semyon since he has another connection. He is one of the characters who also has a dramatic ending by killing himself for freedom. Among the roles that I like the most are the dramatic roles and I really loved this character."

The premiere was well received by art lovers and the audience who filled the hall of the Andon Zako Çajupi theater and through applause, congratulated the actors for the show and the wonderful performance. "Vasha Zheleznova" will be played for two days in a row in the theater of Korça, where everyone will have the opportunity to see a fantastic work by Gorky and also receive very meaningful messages about family, couple relations, children's education, property conflicts and many others. These situations continue to be current in Albanian society./ CNA
