The wife of the director / actor Dhimiter Orgocka, belongs to the founding generation of the Korce Theater since 1951, being one of the first female actresses of the professional Albanian theater. A versatile, dramatic, comedic, stage and film actress. One of its qualities was its transformative power and its adaptation to different areas of the theater, in different interpretative plans. Although she had not finished any drama school, her interpretation was of high quality.
She was dynamic on stage, distinguished by her naturalness, alive, full of energy, with a warm word and interpreted with temperament. While in the roles of the comic direction, he was characterized by a high rhythm interwoven with an inner cheerfulness, which made the spectator himself, on the other hand, he was dramatic, epic and emotional, in the roles of the tragic direction.
She has performed in over 60 roles in the theater. She stood out in the role of Viola in the comedy “Twelfth Night” by Shakespeare, in 1965, expressing a lyrical-poetic nature, playing with its gender binary through sudden transitions, from one state (the boy) to another (the girl).
In N. Ostrovsky’s play, “The Single Girl” (1966), she interprets the role of Larisa with lyricism and warmth. In v. 1961 dramatically gave the role of Katrina in Miller’s “View from the Bridge”. In 1979, she played Frosina in Moliere’s comedy “Kopraci” with liveliness and humor, living the type of character of a classic Moliere servant. The high pace, the twisted plastic, the two-way game, the pleasant surprises make this role one of the most liked in her career. In v. 1974, in R. Pulaha’s comedy “Lady from the city” she realized a popular format and spirit, the role of Ollga, presenting a citizen woman with the colors of the district of Korce, who was “civilized”, but very burdened with prejudices about the way of living in the village, a role she plays for the second time in the upcoming comedy “A comrade from the Country”.
In 1978 with the interpretation of the character of Maro in R. Pulaha’s drama “Maro Mokra” she reaches one of her highest levels in interpretation.
