Manage episode 320596087 series 3003135
Gentë Retkoceri is a professor of acting and an experienced film and theater actress. Gentë has been acting in different drama plays in theaters across East and West Europe, USA, and has also been part of the National Theater of Kosovo. We begin with what it was like growing up in Kosovo during the Serbian occupation. Many of the plays and projects Gentë acts in are based on heavy topics and Albanian culture: from a tragic true story on human trafficking to the role of honor in blood feuds and the importance of 'besa' for Albanians which is a pledge of honor or keeping a promise. Gentë shares a brilliant blueprint for anyone who teaches a class or conducts a workshop! Finally, as a mother of two young kids, Gentë speaks openly and honestly about the difficulties of being a parent and disciplining children.
