Description

“The Other” is a marionette performance based on the prehistoric short story “He” by renowned Georgian writer Jemal Karchkhadze.
The story follows a primitive man who becomes the first in his tribe to undergo evolution: he stands upright, looks at the sky for the first time, begins to think and feel, falls in love, and starts discovering himself.

But these changes frighten those around him — and the tribe’s leader…
