“A Jar of Wishes” is a physical and musical theatre performance inspired by the сюжет of Sulxan-Saba Orbeliani’s fable “The Beggar and the Jar of Butter.”

The production reinterprets the classical text in an allegorical form and brings it to life through a contemporary stage language. The performance features traditional Georgian music — both folk instrumental pieces and compositions by Sulxan Tsintsadze.

The visual world is inspired by the paintings of Niko Pirosmani and is realized through video installations.

The characters narrate the fable’s storyline through choreography incorporating elements of traditional Georgian dance. Notably, only the plot of the well-known fable is used — the original text by Sulxan-Saba is not included; instead, folk poetry is featured.
