Another iconic name of Albanian acting has been extinguished: Birçe Hasko.
He started his career with the famous joke “keep me safe”, in the role of a ballista, to continue with more and more jokes, in cinema and theater, being one of the most original actors in interpretation.
Born in Dukat of Vlora, on March 15, 1942, Birçe Hasko would continue the “Jani Minga” school in Vlora, and then worked as a teacher in Memaliaj, where he showed his talent in the city’s amateur Estrada troupe.
Thus, in 1965, he started studying acting at the High Institute of Arts and then produced hundreds of roles. At the same time, he remained a lecturer at this institution, where for many years he trained generations of artists by teaching the subject of Actor’s Mastery.
For his valuable contribution to Albanian art, he was awarded the title “Merited Artist” in 1988, as well as the “Naim Frashëri” order of the Second Class.
