His drama brings threats, vandalism, and international achievements. Now the brave playwright is adapting Ibsen to strip off corruption in his homeland, Kosovo.
Neziraj lives with clear views of the role of drama. The theater should be on the side of those who have no power, on the side of the victims, on the minority side,” he says.
As no doubt Kosovo's best playwright, he is challenging the political topics of this country. The drama “Hypocrites”, or “The English Patient”, presented the dire state of the health system and was inspired by a scandal involving bribery.
He published one of his dramas in which Serbia and Kosovo fight over who will take over Britain to join the EU under the Kosovo nickname “nic”> His 2017 play, the 55 shadows of Gay, which appeared at New York's LaMama Theatre, dealt with bureaucratic and social failures for a gay couple enrolled to marry in a Kosovo city.
The latest drama, the Dream Department, an orvellian comedy based in an autism, is recently at Los Angeles City Guard Theatre, writes Periscopi. This drama is applicable for more countries, not only for Kosovo.
Neziraj has made over 25 dramas that have been shown on the side of Europe, although not yet in Britain.
