Armando Bora
Director of Theater and Operas!
Born in Vlore on November 30. He graduated from the High Institute of Arts for directing with teacher Pirro Mani. In 1991 he went to Greece for three years and then in in 1994, he staged the play “Three Minds at Auction” by Ferdinand Hysi in the “Petro Marko” theater in Vlora, which won 3 awards at the National Festival of Theaters in Tirana.
In 1995, he had success in the same theater with another play by F. Hysi, “The city against mice”, with which he won an award at the theater festival in Vlore. “A winter night’s dream” (1999) was an impressive staging of the novella “Who brought Doruntinen” by I. Kadares at the National Theatre. In 1998, the drama “Far Ontrantos” was staged: pain towards the tragic exodus of Albanians towards the shores of Italy.
In 2002, with the staging of Ionesco’s “The King is Dying”, he created clear parallels between the syndrome of power holders in totalitarian dictatorial regimes on the one hand and the selfishness and irrational greed of man as a human being.

Bora is also attracted by monodramas, parts with few characters, where the levels of a fragile psychology, human intimacy are felt more, among which we can mention: “The Rhinoceros” – 1996, a Franco-Albanian collaboration, ” Qefharrami” – 1998 / “Rubaiyat” – 1999 / “Gof” by Anton Pashku, in the theater of Varna, Bulgaria in 1999 / “Suitcases” etc.
