KK (I’m a Kommunist Kid)
KK is a political-performative reflection on territorial property and cultural identity, filtered through a dry and stinging irony: a contemporary choreographic translation of the aesthetics of a post- communist childhood. What’s the relation between citizenship, freedom and imagination? As a new European citizen, Glen explores his Albanian roots with his brother Olger, who also emigrated to Europe in the ’90s. From different point of views and conditions, they confront each other on stage through their memories of Albania, a pre-globalization Albania lived during their childhood and adolescence; an Albania that they therefore reinvent by necessity on an imaginative-mnemonic level through their current perspectives.
