The Faculty of Performing Arts has launched a series of talks, which aim to help preserve the memory and material and visual shaping of the Faculty's history. The first talk focused on Arben Imami, who spoke on the topic "Between Rationality and Imagination". He first focused on the role of the director.

"You will take a text, and from this text you will create a world, a world that is new; and the problem is whether you can make this world your own and this world be in an intersubjectivity with the world of others," said Imami.

Considered one of the important new teachers of directing before the 90s and of the conceptual turn after the change of system, Arben Imami praised what he considered one of the best Albanian directors.

"He looked like a bank clerk, like an accountant, he could be an engineer, a designer. (But when you saw him) you would never think he was an artist, he didn't take pictures, he made films, those who took pictures are still on the streets today, they still take pictures today, but they left nothing behind in terms of work and product," Imami said.

While focusing on the difference in artistic language between a director and an actor, he recalled the times when the subject was taught by Milto Kutali and also gave a timeless message.

"(The artistic word) was being made and it was not one of these fairy tales that was being told here. A leader who leads his country to the abyss must be opposed, because we are all in the abyss. I have not spoken against communism, but there was no need to either," Imami said, among other things.

His conversation had a philosophical approach, about the artist's intellectual and spiritual world, bringing to attention famous times and characters.
