“We are on a very important anniversary. Professionally, it has brought very good shows. We have troops from Kosovo, Macedonia. KOKO FEST is based on comedy. We also offer an exhibition to the public  that displays the work of these 10 years. We also have many old comedies that we have exhibited,” said actress Zamira Kita.

In addition to the performances, art lovers from Korça will have the opportunity to see an exhibition in the lobby of the theater, dedicated to the festival over the years.
