Dumbadze’s Human Sorrow – Elevation

On June 5, 2026, at 7:00 PM, Nodar Dumbadze Youth Theatre will host the theatrical performance “Dumbadze’s Human Sorrow – Elevation.”

This emotional and life-affirming production is inspired by the works of Nodar Dumbadze and invites audiences on a journey through the world of human emotions, where sorrow, compassion, humor, and love come together in a uniquely moving theatrical experience.

The production is presented by the creative team of the First Georgian International Diaspora Theatre “Return,” founded by Tinatin Svanidze-Venko within the framework of the Georgian Cultural Center of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The cast brings together young people from diverse backgrounds, including participants from Hereti, internally displaced persons from Abkhazia and Tskhinvali, Fereydani Georgians, and individuals who have returned to Georgia after living abroad. Their different experiences create a unique artistic synthesis in which cultural memory and contemporary reality merge through the language of theatre.

More than a performance, this production is a living dialogue about humanity, shared memory, and the values that unite us across generations and borders.
