Description

A flea and an Ant A flea and an Ant – one of the most famous stories from Georgian folklore. This wonderful story has very deep roots, grandparents told a tale of flea and ant to their grandchildren for centuries and almost every Georgian knows it by heart. Everybody needs a friend – a human, animals and birds, even the tiny creatures want to have faithful friends by their side. This tale tells us a story of a flea, which almost sacrifices himself to save a friend. The ant falls in the river; he can’t swim and will drown if a flea won’t rescue him. A devoted friend tries to help – he needs a rope to take out an ant from water; that is why he asks help from: a pig, oak, crow, hen, millet pit, mouse, cat and a cow. All of them ask for something in exchange for their help. A tiny flea is exhausted, but doesn’t give up and finally his efforts successfully end – he rescues an ant and unlike other characters, he does everything unselfishly. The true friendship is a precious gift which is given only those who have kind heart and pure spirit.

Nodar Dumbadze Theater (ნოდარ დუმბაძის თეატრი)

In 1928 Alexander Takaishvili created the Georgian Theater of the Young Spectator. The premiere of the first performance "Fritz Bauer" (N. Sats) took place on 11 November. It was followed by performances: "Robin Hood" (S. Zayatsky), "The Man in Black Glasses" (V. Kurdyumov), "Hiawatha" (N. Ognev) and others. Spectators watched the performances with great interest. The success of these performances is the merit of the artists: G. Kuprashvili, T. Tvaliashvili, G. Darispanashvili, M. Ergneli, a little later: V. Areshidze, I. Ninua, A. Kachkachishvili, N. Sirbiladze, D. Tskhakaia, N. Khorava, M. Dzhadzhanashvili, I. Donauri, G. Deisadze, A. Kiasashvili, D. Dzneladze, A. Gviniashvili and others. In 1998, the Georgian and Russian Theater of the Young Spectator merged under the name of the Central Children's Theater named after N. Dumbadze. The theater began its joint activities in the former building of the Russian Youth Theater. Thanks to the Cartu Charitable Foundation and the theater management, the building was completely reconstructed.
