A joint production of the Bekim Fehmiu City Theatre, Qendra Multimedia, Maladype Theatre, and the METTRIN Art Centre

Translated into English by: Alexandra Channer

Translated into Hungarian by: Sylvia Huszár

Directed by: Zoltán Balázs

Building on its previous successes and its strong presence over the past years in the Western Balkans, Maladype Theatre is preparing a new co-production with Qendra Multimedia, a performing arts production company based in Pristina, and the Bekim Fehmiu City Theatre in Prizren. At the invitation of our ensemble, internationally renowned Kosovar playwright Jeton Neziraj and Kosovar poet Shpëtim Selmani have jointly created a new work titled Inhuman. The collage-like contemporary text will be staged by Zoltán Balázs, known for his exceptional directorial concepts, with Albanian actors and creative collaborators at the Bekim Fehmiu City Theatre—thereby opening the door to new directions in the process of collective creation. By combining the professional experience of two theatre institutions that play a significant role in the international theatre scene—Qendra Multimedia and Maladype Theatre—this joint artistic production will address pressing global issues.

The urgency of creating Inhuman in the acute relevance of its subject: the harrowing conditions of war and armed conflict, and the individual and collective fates of those unable to escape isolation. Can art have an impact—and if so, how—on human brutality and mercilessness? What processes fuel the dehumanization of our world? How can our civilization resist barbarism and cultural degradation? In what ways can compassion triumph over inhumanity? These are the questions explored by this forthcoming production, which follows Maladype’s unconventional dramaturgy and focuses on collective reflection, cross-linguistic communication, understanding, and human dignity.
