Tringa, Jeta, and Atdhe have never left Kosovo. In their twenties, they’ve spent their lives imagining the world through screens, grounded by visa restrictions. When they finally board a plane for the first time, the reality they encounter is far from what they imagined. Yet something shifts. In the space between departure and return, they begin to understand that growing up isn’t about where you go, but who you become along the way.

Redon Kika is an actor and director from Pristina, Kosovo. He began working in theatre at a very early age, where he developed his passion for acting. From that point on, he has continuously worked on different theatre projects nationally and internationally.

He has worked with the National Theatre of Kosovo, Qendra Multimedia, La MaMa Experimental Theatre (NY), Schlachthaus Theater, Oda Theater, Dokufest, among others.
