The playwright Jeton Neziraj has a history of tackling difficult topics. His most recent play Negotiating Peace is testament to this. The play draws on two texts – To End a War, the memoir of the American diplomat Richard Holbrooke, which documents his central role in bringing together the Dayton Agreement, and The General of the Dead Army (Gjenerali i ushtrisë së vdekur), the 1963 novel of the Albanian writer Ismail Kadare – to explore the topic of peace making. It asks the question: what does it mean to make peace? Who are the people charged with negotiating the future of their countries? What compromises must be made to end a war? It is obviously a very resonant topic both in the region and beyond, with Russia’s war with Ukraine and the current, horrific Israeli-Hamas conflict. How will these wars end? How will peace be achieved and what will that peace look like.

Highlight: Into the darkness of the heart
By Diane Baker / Staff reporter
The Tai Gu Tales Dance Theater (太古踏舞團) is back at the National Experimental Theater in Taipei this weekend with a new work that interweaves performance genres, cultures, feminism and generations in a bid to get to the core: the human heart.
The choreographer of
Heart Scenery (心之景), Wu Tsai-lin (吳采璘), is well-versed in cross-cultural influences and artistry: Her parents are Wu Hsing-kuo (吳興國) and Lin Hsiu-wei (林秀偉).
Lin founded the dance troupe in 1988, two years after she helped Wu Hsing-kuo found the Contemporary Legend Theatre (當代傳奇劇場), so Wu Tsai-lin grew up seeing her parents create works that fused Eastern cultural traditions and contemporary Western practices.
