About Performance:
The Death of Cinderella is the exclusive presentation of DZHABA's latest collection, unveiled through a unique theatrical fashion performance. This is neither a traditional fashion show nor a conventional stage play. It is an interdisciplinary production that brings together haute couture, theatre, cinema, music, and visual arts into a single artistic experience.
The runway transforms into a stage, while every garment becomes an integral part of the story, expressing emotion, character, and narrative.
At the heart of the performance lies the mysterious death of a young woman. Through the stories of five women, each with her own perspective and truth, the audience embarks on a journey exploring love, ambition, beauty, jealousy, power, and female identity.
Within the production, DZHABA's collection is far more than a visual element; it is an essential part of the dramaturgy, where every couture piece tells its own story and contributes to the emotional depth of the performance.
The project is further distinguished by an extraordinary cast: for the first time in their careers, five legendary actresses of Georgian theatre and cinema share the stage in a single production, making this not only an artistic achievement but also a landmark cultural event.
The Death of Cinderella introduces a new artistic format in which fashion is no longer merely presented—it becomes the language of theatre itself.
Founded in 2023 by the visionary Georgian director Levan Tsuladze, Theatre Studio 42 is an independent theater born to redefine the country's cultural landscape. Making our home in the industrial center of Didube—at the vibrant Tbilisi Factory complex on 114 Tsereteli Avenue—we believe that independent theater is not just a luxury, but a vital necessity integrated into the very social and economic fabric of Tbilisi.
Our venue features a unique 264-seat auditorium equipped for modern staging, flanked by a lively, interactive foyer complete with theatrical cafés and contemporary art galleries. We are a space where art lives before and after the curtain falls.
Though our journey is just beginning, our impact has been immediate. By the end of our third season, our repertoire has expanded to include 15 diverse productions, seamlessly crossing genres from classical adaptations and documentary theater to contemporary drama and modern choreography. In parallel, our educational programs and modern technology workshops have seen surging demand. We run meeting with audience regularly as well as have wonderful youtube channel with lectures about theatre led by Levan Tsouladze.
We are deeply committed to connecting Tbilisi to the international arts community. Through digital workshops, exchange projects, global conferences, and a strong push toward international co-productions, we are actively expanding our horizons. Because we operate without a rigid permanent ensemble, our stage serves as a fluid crossroads where iconic, experienced actors and fearless young performers create together. We have navigated many steep challenges as an independent startup, but through that struggle, we have built a profound repertoire, captured a massive audience, and earned both local popularity and international recognition.
