He pursued higher studies in film directing at the Academy of Arts in Prague (1959\u20131960) and later in acting at the &#8220;Aleksand\u00ebr Moisiu&#8221; Higher School for Actors (1960\u20131963). In 1964, he began working as an actor and later as a director at the &#8220;Migjeni&#8221; theater in Shkod\u00ebr. He staged around 125 works in the theaters of Shkod\u00ebr, Tirana, Skopje, Durr\u00ebs, Gjakova, Struga, Fier, etc. As a director, he was distinguished for his profound and elegant treatment of the work and his rich stage culture (&#8220;Fisheku n\u00eb paj\u00eb,&#8221; &#8220;Toka jon\u00eb,&#8221; &#8220;K\u00ebshilli i ndrikullave,&#8221; &#8220;Gjaku i Arbrit,&#8221; &#8220;Baca i Gjetajve&#8221;). In the &#8217;90s, he significantly enriched expressive forms, applying bold metaphors in the mise-en-sc\u00e8ne and favoring reworked mythological treatments. He was the founder of the Poetic Theater at the &#8220;Migjeni&#8221; theater in Shkod\u00ebr. In his written dramas, such as &#8220;\u00c7murosja,&#8221; &#8220;Pse?,&#8221; and &#8220;Trokitje n\u00eb dyert e dhimbjes,&#8221; along with the tragic aspect, there is also a grotesque side and a defiant stance toward rigid social realities. He passed away in 2007.
