Over the years, Qesere Trako proves to have talent and shows features in the field of performing arts. Its formation will be influenced by many veterans of the Korça theater and part of the founding staff Dhimiter Trajçe who activates her in amateur groups and engages her with the first role in the show “Dasma Korçare” in 1947.

As for all female actresses, this was a long but difficult road, because going on stage in those years was a challenge. That day, she faced many insults, rumors and threats of the patriarchal era, precisely in order not to appear on stage.
