The Autumn Of My Springtime
"The Autumn Of My Springtime" is a captivating puppet theatre performance premiering in 2002 in Lausanne, Switzerland, now staged at Gabriadze Theatre. It narrates the tale of Boria Gadai, a small bird with a big heart, living in Kutaisi, Georgia, after World War II. Following the death of Varlam, the organ-grinder, Boria becomes the sole caretaker of the elderly grandmother Domna. Through a series of adventures involving love, theft, and danger, the story explores themes of dreams, despair, anger, and joy. The show masterfully combines puppetry, traditional Georgian folk songs, and dance, evoking cherished memories of the author. The performance lasts 90 minutes. Children under 12 are not admitted. Audience members are invited to relax before the show at the "Ar Idardo" bar in the theatre lobby, open exclusively for ticket holders from 18:00. Punctuality is required; latecomers will not be admitted to preserve the intimate and magical atmosphere of the theatre.
