The World War 4 performance speaks, first of all, about love. The actors in it, are performing as the people who are casualties of war, actually to prevent the war from happening. They came back to this time, from different countries, to give us the last warning... to tell us something that we can't see in our everyday lives.

The performance happens in seven different languages, and ten other stories, but in the name of the same mission... Save the earth from distraction.

It took place during the festival Teatrove in Ferizaj, Kosova, in its 54th edition. The festival has one of the biggest traditions, and it is very well managed. The director Rizeski managed to do workshops alongside the rehearsals that took place for the performance to happen.
