Description

About the performance:
An ancient story that fits today’s reality like nothing else. Medea’s eternal image — a strong woman who gives up everything for love.

Medea’s tale is full of sacrifice. To be with Jason, she spilled blood and committed a terrible crime. Will she have to cross the line again to say goodbye to him?

A woman who rejects what is most precious — does she become an antihero?
Or perhaps, as a mother, Medea is defending what those in power are trying to take away from her?

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.
