TIRANA NATIONAL THEATRE: A STAGE TO POLITICAL ACTS

Abstract

In the series of recent events in Albania, the destruction of the National Theatre stands now in our memory as a merciless attack against the popular tagger itself. Along with the theatre building, the belief that we are not really living under the ultimate power of a silent absolutism has collapsed for several times now. The purpose of this research is to raise awareness and inform the reader regarding the relationship that we nowadays have with art and space. Throughout an explicit analysis of the theatre building since its genesis, detailing all phases in different periods of time, it has been studied how architecture is used to define the rank. It is intended to serve the complete research source, having the delicacy of not imposing the stated point of view, but rather bombarding with information and offering the possibility to finally decide where to stand in the sphere of judgment and thoughts.
