Description

Davit Kldiashvili’s “The Troubles of Darispan” is one of the most distinctive works of Georgian drama, exploring themes of family, love, dignity, and social status through sarcastic humor and a profound understanding of human emotions.

Behind the story of a single family, the author creates a portrait of an entire society, which is why the issues raised in the play remain relevant and relatable to contemporary audiences today.

In the Dmanisi Theatre’s new production, director Giorgi Sikharulidze reinterprets the classic text through a contemporary theatrical form.

The performance unfolds through the structure of four blogs, while video projections and live visual imagery play an important role in the stage environment.

Through modern technology and a distinctive theatrical language, the production offers a fresh interpretation of Kldiashvili’s world, bringing its enduring themes into the context of contemporary reality.

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.
