I Haven't Gone Anywhere - Sokhumi State Drama Theatre

'I Haven't Gone Anywhere' is a play authored by Salome Kapanadze and directed by Ekaterine Kato Sharikadze, performed at the Sokhumi State Drama Theatre. The story follows a girl displaced from Abkhazia at age four who returns to her native Sukhumi as an adult.
