SACRED BATH by ALICE MOTTA

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.
