She was born in Fier in 1930. In 1950, she graduated from the artistic high school &#8220;Jordan Misja&#8221; and began working at the People&#8217;s Theater the same year. She played a variety of secondary and episodic roles, breathing life into original characters. She stood out with her role as a servant in Goldoni&#8217;s comedy &#8220;<i>Mirandolina<\/i>&#8220;, but the role that made her widely known was that of Aspasia in Spiro \u00c7omora&#8217;s comedy \u201cKarnavalet e Kor\u00e7\u00ebs\u201d (\u201cThe Carnivals of Kor\u00e7\u00eb\u201d) in 1964. With her acting, she skillfully mocked the superstitious beliefs, ignorance, and snobbery of provincial women, thanks to her distinctive physicality, expressive acting mask, expressive gestures, masculine voice mimicry, and numerous detailed nuances that helped create a unique character. Marika Kallamata was a character actress, mostly specializing in comic and grotesque roles; she knew how to effectively utilize plastic elements, dialectal speech, and even street jargon; she created interesting appearances, nuanced details, and generated spontaneous humor because of her adaptation to the circumstances and settings. In cinema, she played 14 small and supporting roles, all character-driven, starting with the film \u201cF\u00ebmij\u00ebt e saj\u201d (\u201cHer Children\u201d) in 1957 and continuing with others such as \u201cDollia e dasm\u00ebs sime\u201d (\u201cThe Toast of My Wedding\u201d) in the role of Xhiko, \u201cKur hidheshin themelet\u201d (\u201cWhen the Foundations Were Laid\u201d) in the role of Hava, \u201c\u00cbnd\u00ebrr p\u00ebr nj\u00eb karrige\u201d (\u201cDream for a Chair\u201d) in the role of Ishe, &#8220;Nj\u00eb baba tep\u00ebr&#8221; &nbsp;(\u201cOne too many Fathers\u201d) in the role of Filomena, and so on. Marika Kallamata became widely known and beloved for her warm, captivating, suggestive storytelling style, with one of the broadest audiences, especially for her role as the grandmother in the fairy tale program for children on Albanian Television.<i> (In the photo: Marika Kallamata)<\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Text: <\/strong>Josif Papagjoni<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo: <\/strong>\u00a9 https:\/\/observerkult.com\/marika-kallamata-aktorja-qe-nuk-harrohet-kurre\/<\/p>\n<p><strong>Graphic processing: <\/strong>AHCF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marika Kallamata, an actress and &#8220;Meritorious Artist,&#8221; passed away in Tirana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2506,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-vdekje"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7551"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7551\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10855,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7551\/revisions\/10855"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/albheritage.wpadmin.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
