 Puppet show: “When All Was Green”
 Puppet Theater – Tirana
A wordless puppet show by Dikla Katz and Avi Zlicha, winner of 16 international awards and performed in over 30 countries around the world, brings to the stage a universal story about humanity, nature, and greed.Through old books, recycled covers, and yellowed pages, a touching tale unfolds about a boy and a tree — a journey from childhood to adolescence, from green fields to grey concrete, with a single bud of hope as a symbol of return and reflection.Inspired by Shel Silverstein’s “The Giving Tree,” the performance conveys deep messages without uttering a single word, communicating through emotion and the art of movement.After the show, the audience will have the opportunity to take part in a workshop with the artists of the Puppet Theatre.

Modern Ballet: “I Carry You Hold”
Experimental Theatre “Kujtim Spahivogli” – Tirana
On a stage where movement speaks louder than words, a relationship between a woman and a man is shaken, challenged, and rewritten. There are no winners, no losers. No power, no submission. Only bodies seeking to understand one another through an honest physical dialogue, in a space without compromise.This duet by Olivia Court Mesa and Yochai Ginton, crafted with mastery and sensitivity, unfolds a powerful narrative about emancipation, equality, and human vulnerability.Bold choreographic choices, meticulously crafted details, and original music create a unique visual and emotional experience.
