Description

The first Puppet Theatre performance created for older children! The history of Georgia is a story of countless wars, of tireless struggles against enemies… A restless life of a country that was torn apart, devoured, and yet, always and everywhere, the songs and dances of Georgians were heard! Yes, at all times, this voice was heard — in work and in rest, in hardship and in joy! And then someone, arriving from a foreign land, would shrug and say: “What a strange people these Georgians are — always at war, and yet always singing and dancing…”
We will tell you the story of Georgia — told through song, dance, and battle! Told with a love tinged with sorrow… This will be the story of Georgia told with our hands — hands that are capable of anything!
