Description

The Marriage of Figaro is the third part of the trilogy. You may wonder why the third part is a comedy after Leo Tolstoy's "Kreutzer Sonata" and Fyodor Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment"? As Beaumarchais said, we must teach by having fun. We laugh at comedy, but there is nothing less to say in comedy. The peculiarity of the genre of comedy is a strong social sound, it is a special genre, a genre where we have fun and sympathize with the characters. Laughter liberates the audience and reignites the healthy beginnings of life.

Marjanishvili Theatre

8, K. Marjanishvili St.

Kote Marjanishvili State Academic Drama Theatre is a state theatre in Tbilisi, Georgia. It is one of the oldest and most significant theatres in the country, coming second perhaps only to the national Rustaveli Theatre. The theatre was founded in Kutaisi in 1928 by Kote Marjanishvili. It moved to Tbilisi in 1930 to the former Brothers Zubalashvili philanthropic "Public House", the building it still occupies. The theatre's art nouveau edifice was thoroughly renovated and reopened in 2006 with the premiere of Bertolt Brecht's The Threepenny Opera. The theatre building was designed by Polish architect Stefan Kryczyński, while its construction was led by another Polish architect Aleksander Rogojski, municipal architect of Tbilisi.
