PREMIERES OF “POPULAR THEATER”
This year, March 31st, marks the 40th anniversary of the theater premiere “The rise and fall of comrade Zylo”, the work of the
well-known author Dritero Agolli
1983-2025
Much has been written about Bureaucrats and Serviles, but the blame has generally been placed on one side: either the arrogant superior, or the humble subordinate. And in D. Agolli’s humorous novel, Zyloja and Demka, abbreviations of the traditional names “Zylyftar” and “Demir”, where it is not clear where “modernization” begins and where “caress/laughter” ends, they fully deserve each other.
Both are the cause of situations that make the reader gasp, but also somewhat irritated. A product of each other, they are at the same time complicit in the suffering they themselves suffer. For the art of humor, the presentation of two characters in complicity is a well-known choice.
It is enough to recall, it is said, the connections between Don Quixote and Sancho Pancha in the well-known work of Cervantes, Oliver Hardin and Stan Laurel. Even Zyloja and Demka are like that, one in two or two in one. They feed each other and cannot be separated. Zylo without Demke and Demke without Zylo cannot exist.
Which one is more guilty? This is not something that is easily resolved. The comedy of Zylo’s figure stems from the fundamental contradiction of his character: he gives himself values other than those that belong to him, thinking that the state hierarchy is also a hierarchy of merit.
Comrade Zylo is one of hundreds and hundreds of mid-level employees of a multi-instrumental state apparatus. He is not without work merits, he has done something for her good, but these merits in the scale of society have much less weight than in Zylo’s mind.
Indeed, Zylo Kamberi is a tragicomic figure. His actions make you laugh as much as you feel pity. Zyloja is not a pompous, pompous, loud bureaucrat. His arrogance is silent. The prepotence of him is low-pitched. His actions are always motivated by good intentions but lead to terrible mistakes. (according to Wikipedia)
