Anton Krosaj (1966-2020)
Comedy actor in the Estrada group of the “Migjeni” Theater – Shkoder!
Krosaj is born in Shkoder on January 26, 1966. Remains the last Shkodra`s humor talent to emerge from the amateur groups which have also been a real workshop of laughter in Shkoder. It is considered such because it seems that there is no more chances for talents to come out in this way, and not only in Shkoder, but in all other districts.
In 1985, Krosaj completed the Industrial High School. Started his activity as an amateur with the “Tobacco Factory” there around 1988, catching the eye of the great comedian, now deceased Gezim Kruja, who has the special merit of discovering a talent like Anton. It should be noted that “Duhan Cigaria” has produced big names such as Gëzim Kruja, Muharrem Nurja, Besnik Çinari and many others.
Precisely with “Duhan-Cigaret” in Shkodër, he was active in many shows, standing out with his acting skills full of humor, the interpretation of characters, the originality of the joke and the special plastic that makes him beloved in Shkodër, causing many laughs to the spectator, not only on the stage of amateur performances, but later on that of “Migjeni” stage as well as on the stages of local televisions and theaters around the country.
With the advent of democracy, together with Muhamet Çekini, Bujar Ademov, Rudina Smajli and Alketa Gjoni, they form the group “Thumbi” which very quickly became famous not only in Shkodër, but also in Albania with the show “Personazhe ne kurth” directed by Arjan Culiqi.
In 2003, he joined the Professional Estrada in Shkodra alongside the giants Zef Deda, Zyli Miloti, Besnik Çinari, Drande Xhaj, etc.
The profile of the actor Krosaj is inclined towards the originality and the great capacity that is deeply Shkodran and provincial jokes and humor. There are so many roles that he himself will joke: “how many can be counted with the fingers of the hand and … of the foot”!
And in fact, his interpretations are quite a few, from which we can mention: the recitals of Bujar Qamili and Edmond Halil, there are dozens of different shows and three comedies by the director Edmond Mëhilli in Shkodra. the small screen: “Money from the sky”, “Pavilion zero” etc.
While he performed in the comedies: “Your daughter or the municipality”; “Big Brother 1 and 2”; “Zef Deda Show 3”; “Happiness at school” etc.
The materials used in most cases are based on the great professor, writer and humorist Paulin Selimi, who called Anton “nephew”.
From these materials, materials such as “Engagement” and “Traffic Police” are the peaks of his acting in the field of humor in sketches. When asked what you graduated (school), he humorously answers “I finished for all”!
When asked who makes jokes in Shkoder, he answers: “The policemen in the traffic in the first place. The mayors of the municipalities and the asylum for the elderly, then come our honorable deputies. We steal from them in the variety shows, because there are very few humor writers left.
Also, the comedian from Shkodra has staged 3 plays for children: “Happy 2015”; “Happy 2016” : “Spring for children”.
Anton Krosaj passed away prematurely at the age of 54 after a serious illness on July 21, 2020.
