One Jar of Wishes

Author: Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani Director: Giorgi Sultanishvili Choreographer: Nika Nanitashvili Video Installations: Irakli Khvtisiashvili Artist: Nino Kitia Music: Giorgi Sultanishvili Assistant director: Khatuna Sadzaglishvili Starring: Sopho Peradze, Lali Gerkenashvili, Giorgi Jikuridze “A Jar of Desire” is a plastic and musical theatrical performance based on the plot motifs of Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani’s fable “The Beggar and the Jar of Erbo”. The performance reinterprets the classical text in an allegorical form and brings it to life through modern stage language. The performance uses traditional Georgian music, both performed on folk instruments and compositions by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. The visual world is inspired by the painting of Niko Pirosmani and is realized in the form of video installations. The characters tell the story of the fable with choreography, which uses elements of Georgian traditional dances. Interestingly, only the plot of the play is based on the famous fable, but the performance does not include the text of Sulkhan Saba, but uses folk poetry. Age: 7+ Duration: 50 min
