Negotiating peace
Jeton Neziraj
After The Handke Project, Jeton Neziraj returns to Mittelfest with a biting, satirical comedy about peace negotiations. From Northern Ireland to the Middle East, from Kosovo to the Russia-Ukraine war: what goes on behind the scenes of a negotiation? Is it possible to negotiate peace? Who does it? A show that confronts us with the hopes, challenges and hypocrisies that accompany a peace agreement – what if it was just a truce? “If war has its demons,” asks director Blerta Neziraj, “what does peace have? Who is the opposite of these demons?”
