Machines of Time and Mechanisms of Memory - Gabriadze Theatre Backstage Tours

This guided backstage tour at Gabriadze Theatre, led by actor Misha, unfolds in several acts revealing the theatre's unique universe: the significance of childhood and memory, poetic concepts of time, the secret art of puppetry, and the theatre as a space for ritual and healing. Misha demonstrates the poetic and mechanical techniques used by Rezo Gabriadze to tell stories and brings to life the theatre's famous puppets. The experience suits anyone interested in theatre as an art of presence and imagination, including artists, researchers, and travelers. No prior knowledge of Gabriadze’s work is required, only openness to a world where theatre acts as a time machine blurring stage and life boundaries. The tour is offered in Georgian, English, and Russian. Children under 12 are not admitted. Duration is 1 hour.
