Horses in the window

Opened in 1978 by director Mikheil Tumanishvili, the theater today has earned enormous popularity in Georgia, and is also known in creative circles around the world. This art corner is located in the Chugureti region in a small historical building. In front of the theater entrance you can see the original sculpture of its founder. Mikheil Tumanishvili began his career at the Shota Rustaveli Theater, and on Georgian Theater Day 1978 (January 14) he opened a small theater studio, the members of which were graduates of his experimental course. The theater has a very light atmosphere, which is achieved by the absence of a curtain: the actors work in an open space. The hall has 200 comfortable seats, and the stage is equipped with modern lighting. Outside the hall there is a cozy cafe, decorated in the best Georgian traditions with a slight touch of Soviet values, as well as a spacious foyer. The theater gives performances throughout the season: from October to July. Today, the modern cast continues Tumanishvili's course, introducing many innovations and participating in international festivals. Some of the most popular performances here are Chinchraka, Antigone, A Midsummer Night's Dream, as well as many original productions, including In a Dark Room and The Tiger.
