On Tour in Tirana

At a time when so many of its citizens are leaving, Nikki Bedi is joined on stage by some of the artists and performers helping to shape Albania’s cultural future.

In the Culture Cab, movie star and theatre actor Amos Zaharia shows Nikki the controversial site where Tirana’s National Theatre used to be, the old Kino studio where propaganda films were once made and BUNK'ART, an underground museum to the country’s brutal communist history.

There is live music from powerful singer and talent judge Kamela Islamaj, TV satirist Florjan Binaj tackles racism in his comedy set and Rael Hoxha and the Peter Pan Quartet bring the Balkan sound.

Film producer Sabina Kodra and artist Armando Lulaj discuss the latest artistic developments in Tirana and we hear opinions from the live audience.
