“Unknown Origin”

In a world on the move as never before – flights and travel – “Unknown Origin” explores moments of movement, arrivals and departures, and attempts to bring journeys to their end. Who is left behind by these travels? Who is expected? “Unknown Origin” is the latest stage in a process of collaboration between UK and Austrian artists exploring movement into, through and out of space as a matter of feeling – sensation, emotion and expression. The show itself tries to explore the migration and how the migrants face their identity issues.

“…I do not know the places where you sleep, but I dream of them…”
On 12th April 2008 “Unknown Origin” was produced at the National Theatre in Tirana.

The show was produced by Theatre ASOU and co-funded by Austrian Embassy in Tirana and British Council Albania. For further information see www.britishcouncil.org/albania-art-events-theatre

Cultural Heritage: Oral History project: “Albanian weddings in the 1940s”

Oral history describes the often hidden areas of human experience, such as everyday and family life, which make up the majority of people’s lives. Through individual memory, oral history recognises the diversity of human experience, especially when gathered together as a collection of life stories or themed testimonies. Following training last year by our partners from Southampton, UK, students of journalism and history at the History and Philology Faculty of the University of Tirana who are participants in our oral history project have carried out interviews and learned about customs and rites for engagements and weddings since 1940 in Tropoja, Shkodra, Tirana, Durres, Permet, Korca, Erseka, Tepelena, Himara, and Peshkopi. Read some very interesting stories here.

The “ BEST (Building Entrepreneurial Skills for Tomorrow)”
