Në »Peer Gynt nga Kosova«, autori kosovar Jeton Neziraj tregon historinë e një të riu, i cili ka kaluar gati 20 vite të jetës së tij, si në mënyrë legale ashtu edhe ilegale, në Suedi dhe Gjermani. Është një histori plot aventura dhe dramë tronditëse që na jep një pasqyrë të thellë mbi realitetin e migrimit evropian.
Pas një premiere të suksesshme në Wiesbaden (11 maj 2014) në Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden (Gjermani) dhe një turneu në Ballkan (Prishtinë, Tiranë, Shkup, Beograd, Gjilan, Ferizaj), “Peer Gynt nga Kosova” vazhdoi me një turne të gjatë në Suedi.
„And yet one permanently feels in the audience that this modern Peer Gynt not only wants to tell an authentic story, but a true story that sets an example for all the hope for freedom, happiness and prosperity in the Europe of our days. And the disappointment.“ [Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Germany]
“Europe should be a warm embracing place, such as the sheepskin – like fluffy carpet on the theatre stage. As fur balls are thrown around by the 4 actors, Europe is revealed to be a hard place with plenty of prejudice, racism and discrimination. It’s in this environment that the refugee Peer Gynt, from Kosovo, tries to survive. Sweden is no better than any other country and the level of stupidity is limitless. It’s a powerful move by the author Jeton Neziraj to use the name of the key character in Henrik Ibsen’s poetic drama from 18. He is clearly an inoffensive albeit spineless individual who ”walks away”. A conformist and a dreamer, he is quite the opposite of the uncompromising “Brand,” previously described by Ibsen. The Peer Gynt of today doesn’t have an easy time as the perpetual refugee crossing paths and hoping to succeed. […] This is without boundaries and sometimes crazily funny as well as incredibly tragic, one after the other. There are borrowings from modern theatre’s expressionism; the burlesque, the absurd, realism and comedy. A performance with physical presence that will be remembered for a long time. The theme is as topical as well as hot – unfortunately.” [Linköping, Sweden]
“This authentic story, told with a great sincerity, is a reflection on the fates of thousands of young immigrants in Europe who, when faced with a life crisis, often lose contact with the ground underneath their feet and turn to crime to survive.” [Stefan Schletter, dramaturg, Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden, Germany]
“The play, written by Jeton Neziraj and directed by Robert Jelinek, tells a heart-breaking story that reflects the fate of many young European migrants; who leave their countries in search of fortune and happiness, but instead find hardship and despair.” [Kosovo 2.0, Kosovo]
