About Performance:
The performance is presented in a silent disco format — the audience receives headphones, and each scene unfolds directly through them. The actors bring various “oxymoronic” situations to life using the language of choreography and physical theatre, reflecting our everyday reality.
This is a disco that is silent — and that is precisely why it is an oxymoron.
The performance breaks traditional theatrical form and is presented in a Happening style. The audience is free to move around the space, follow the rhythm, become part of the action, or even leave the hall with the headphones and return again.
An oxymoron is a combination of contradictory terms that reflects the paradoxes of our daily lives — a small crowd, quiet chaos, a fast queue, and so on. The performance brings these contradictions to life in a wordless, allegorical form.
Movement Theatre was founded in 2000 by Kakha Bakuradze. Since its establishment, the theatre has continued to engage audiences through constant innovation, compelling performances, and creative events. It is currently led by Artistic Director Ioseb Bakuradze.
Representing Georgia, the theatre has participated in numerous international festivals. Among its notable appearances was the International Shakespeare Festival in 2018 with Ioseb Bakuradze’s production of The Tempest. In the same year, under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture of Georgia, the company performed at the River Bank Festival in Frankfurt. In 2019, the theatre was invited to perform in Munich, Vilnius, and Minsk. It has also taken part in many festivals across Europe.
This September, Movement Theatre will host an American theatre company, which will collaborate with its actors on the creation of a new performance.
Movement Theatre combines contemporary dance, mime, acrobatics, pantomime, physical theatre, ballet, martial arts and circus techniques, folklore, and original music. This unique artistic language makes its productions equally engaging for audiences of all ages and nationalities.
