Tragic-comic actor with great artistic qualities, intuition and deep insight into types and characters, these are some of the qualities of Vasillaq, who knows how to put them at the service of what he does with finesse. Humor is not given by school. It only develops you, directs you through innate gifts. And so it happens with Vasillaq. Humor is innate from birth.

In his early youth, as soon as he had finished the Academy of Arts for acting, the vicissitudes of work or appointment where he would work began. Formed boy full of desire. He wanted at all costs to start acting at the National Theatre, even more so they gave him a role in the drama "Lëvizja" directed by Pirro Mani, a role that he successfully performed. However, the party's opinion was that he should go to Estrada in Tirana, where they nominated him. The order was the order, despite the demands of the letters from the theater artists, who wanted to keep him in their collective. And Vasillaqi didn't want to go, but he couldn't beat himself without work. He was afraid that he would be buried in some lost cultural hearth, as revenge for disobeying the order. And so he ended up as an actor in the Estrada Theater of Tirana until the well-deserved end of the latter.

Estrada didn't like it at first, he worked reluctantly, without attention. Absence at work, low-quality roles. But it is this same artist who became so connected with pop music, with humor, instruments, parodies, that it cannot be explained anymore. Then Estrada became the place where he showed his talent and ethical values ??with all his creative energies, it became the place where he realized his acting dream. Their values ??are measured by the roles played, and they are not few. More than 100 roles created in pop, theater, cinematography, etc.

Hostage before the escape

In 2005, when Estrada e Tirana was dissolved, Vasillaq Vangjeli was found unemployed. From time to time he participated in various private projects. He turned his house into a modest restaurant near the Madrasah, where friends and colleagues constantly went.

"This is not my job. I do it for fun because I take care of the children, but it's not work.

My hands are full of work. Because we are at the peak of artistic maturity. It's a very bad position... The desire I had when I left school to work at the People's Theater, I would like to realize now. I spent the last years there. I would like to make some pictures, which I could not, and retire peacefully. It doesn't matter what. But I love 3 real comedies. But we have life and health. I have not yet satisfied myself with art. I have unfulfilled roles", said the actor in one of his last appearances for the media, but he could not realize this dream.

However, the films and comedies continue to be seen and his humor still keeps Vasillaq Vangjeli close to us./ CNA
