Marie Logoreci

She started her career as a singer in Radio Tirana (1945), before making her breakthrough appearance as an actress in the film The Great Warrior Skanderbeg (1953).

Logoreci was very early introduced to home financial difficulties and to social dramas of the time also reflected in her family as well.

From her childhood only 20 drawings have survived; they are witness of a mild and delicate spirit by showing a fine capture of the object, an observant eye, and a harmony in colors and precision.

What mostly traced her soul were the popular narrations, legends and epic songs of the Northern Albania that she heard around her family.

Kolë was the son of Mati Logoreci, himself a very distinguished teacher and linguist, a man of high social reputation at his time.

All her performances of Shakespeare's, of Molière's, of Lorca's, or Gorky's dramas, as well as them of the Albanian authors—Kole Jakova, Ndreke Luca etc.—demonstrated her particular artistic abilities.

[8] After a long career as an actress, she discovered an interest in directing, also making an important contribution in that field.

In front of the spectators she created in stage the human soul, pain, protest, revolt, hate, cynicism, hypocrisy, and cunning; she offered them the magic of the play, what the real art can invoke.

Her artistic lingo was expressive; her stage gestures demanded and were applied with masterly affection, and Logoreci gave life to all those performances signing up her individuality and personal stature in art.
