"One Drop of Blue"

The performance was shot in Uplistsikhe. A city worth mentioning, as Mtkvari flows under it and has great cultural value - Uplistsikhe (Fortress of God in Georgian). This ancient city is the greatest monument of the pagan ritual world that existed before Christianity. In ancient times, people used to go to Uplistsikhe during the equinox to take part in a mystical ritual. It was the city of the sun. The city of the god where all the priests and their servants lived. People living in Uplistsikhe glorified the local gods and worshiped Nana, the symbol of the Great Mother, which is goddess of nature. This beautiful city was built by the river Mtkvari and it used to be a throne city for centuries, just as our capital city - Tbilisi.
