Kristo Çala, set designer, was born in Tirana. He graduated from the Academy of Arts for scenography in 1986 and that same year he started working at the National Theatre, until his forced departure in 2000. Many of the scenographies of the National Theatre’s productions bear his signature. Çala’s scenographies are known for their simplicity and prudence, featuring a straightforward visual language that conveys deep ideographic meaning. His work often leans towards realistic representations, but when incorporating imaginative or surreal elements, he uses strong references to the natural world. (In the photo: Kristo Çala)
