Anna Monteverdi and Robert Lepage, november 2015, Lyon

The video New Theatre in Kosovo (2015) made by Anna Monteverdi during her six trips to Kosovo, is based on the play The Destruction of the Eiffel Tower by the brilliant Kosov playwright Jeton Neziraj, directed by Blerta Rrustemi Neziraj, with music by Gabriele Marangoni, which debuted at Prishtina at the end of 2013 and seems to predict the tragedy of “Charlie Hebdo”. Footage of the rehearsals is combined with a series of interviews and images of the city with its contrasts and its suffering.
