Fascinating stories that remain imprinted in the mind. Glorious Death by Dritëro Kasapi is about the life in the zone between the old Europe and that of the future. …The montage technique with many voices and images creates ambiguity and ironies, that are contrasted to the sorrowful tenor of Nuri Harun Ates beautiful voice… Svenska Dagbladet 

”Glorious Death” is a poetic and yes, touching lament over Europe, a scrutinizing and honest reflection of the Westerner – the way she actually is but does not want to see herself as: aged, in the best of cases feeling guilt and soon to be outplayed”  Sveriges radio 

It is a song a video performance that is relevant beyond national boundaries as it evokes thought about aging, migration, racism, immigration and identity crisis. Göteborgs Posten

“The play deals with so many issues – exile, racism, growing old, death, loss and memory amongst them – yet is not a play about “issues” at all. The subtlety of the director’s methods is utterly extraordinary: a very moving experience.”  Nottingham Visual Arts
