Description

“Oxymoron” at Movement Theatre

This performance is presented in a silent disco format — audience members receive headphones, and each scene unfolds through them. Using choreography and the language of physical theatre, the performers bring to life various “oxymoronic” situations that reflect everyday life.

It is a disco that is silent — and that is exactly why it is an oxymoron.

The performance breaks away from traditional theatrical form and is presented in a Happening style.

Audience members are free to move around the space, follow the rhythm, become part of the action, or even leave the hall wearing their headphones and return later.

An oxymoron is a combination of contradictory words that reflects the paradoxes of everyday life — such as “small crowd,” “peaceful chaos,” or “fast queue.” The performance brings these contradictions to life through a wordless and allegorical theatrical language.

Location

Movement Theatre
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.
