„Homo homini porcus” is a dance play inspired by George Orwell’s novel „Animal farm”, which precisely exposed mechanisms created by the world’s authorities full of silent control and manipulation, taking advantage of individuals, willing only to live a happy and peaceful life.

The performance describes the phenomenon of a revolution, which is strongly connected to its’ cruelty and enquires about the sense of rebellion as an act influencing the construction of our reality.

In a world filled with control, domination, ongoing feeling of injustice and currently happening wars, we want to open a space for dialogue about persecution, exclusion, neglect, and together with the audience consider the social and political mechanisms of subversion.

„Homo homini porcus” is a dance as the art of resistance and an experience infiltrating time, space, our bodies and minds.

Movement Theatre

182, D. Agmasheneblis Ave., Tbilisi

The history of "Movement Theater" is an integral part of the life of its founder, Kakha Bakuradze. Before opening the theater in Georgia, Kakha Bakuradze worked in Western Europe and returned to Georgia in 2000 after many years of practice. At the theater institute, he gave pantomime lessons to future actors. In 2001, the first performance "Richard the Third" was staged together with the students of the Theater School, which was evaluated as the best experiment of the year. It was here that a band of students saw Kakha Bakuradze's possibility of establishing his own theater and began his journey in the world of movement. Kakha Bakuradze's troupe started the first public performances in the streets. The Movement Theatre was in constant motion and changed rehearsal spaces whenever possible, until the completion of the construction of its own theater (2013), which the artistic director and the cast built with their own hands. Since then, creative activities, which do not mean only theatrical performances, have not stopped in this building for a single day. A lot of creative evenings were held in the Kakha Bakuradze Movement Theater and their selection is based on only one criterion - the creativity must be original.
