A stage adaptation of a renowned literary work has always attracted great audience interest. Director Mairam Sikharulidzechose the world-famous “Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka — a story in which a person loses even their physical appearance.
This phantasmagorical drama contains many psychological, sociological, and deeply symbolic layers, which naturally could not remain outside the interest of theatrical art. Undoubtedly, this is what inspired the young director’s choice.
Batumi Ilia Chavchavadze State Drama Theatre opened in 1952 and is the oldest dramatic theatre in Ajara, based in the centre of Batumi.
