Against the tragic story of one family, the performance presents an allegorical and metaphorical reflection of society. The story revolves around three main characters, each representing both an individual and a symbol.

Teimuraz — an educated aristocrat and the last descendant of the Khevistavi family — becomes a victim of brute force. He lacks the ability to fight against violence.

His wife, Margo Kaplanishvili, also an aristocrat, gradually becomes emotionally lifeless beside the powerless Teimuraz. Her duality is emphasized through two actresses portraying her — young Margo and transformed Margo.

Jaqo — violent, uneducated, yet physically powerful — takes over all their property and eventually even claims Margo by force.

The performance will take place at the Experimental Stage of Shota Rustaveli National Theatre.

Start time: 7:00 PM
