About Performance:
A contemporary drama exploring the inner world of human beings, inherited trauma, and the experiences passed down from one generation to the next. The performance tells the story of people trapped by their past, family ties, and personal wounds. They are connected by invisible threads of love, anger, guilt, and silence. The production raises profound questions: How free are we in making our own choices? Is it possible to break free from the past, or is it permanently embedded in our identity?
"We came to change everything in theatre." — this vision of Mikheil Tumanishvili continues to define the artistic spirit of the theatre today. The origins of the theatre date back to 1975, when Mikheil Tumanishvili established a theatrical workshop at the Georgian Film Studio (Kartuli Pilmi). In 1978, this workshop evolved into the Film Actors Theatre, a unique studio-based company founded by the actors and directors of Tumanishvili's experimental ensemble. The creative legacy of Mikheil Tumanishvili—one of Georgia's most influential theatre reformers, directors, and teachers—remains at the heart of the institution's identity. Since 1996, the theatre has proudly borne his name, continuing the traditions of the "Tumanishvili School" while combining its artistic heritage with contemporary theatrical exploration. Tumanishvili Film Actors' Theatre, is a state repertory theatre with a permanent ensemble. It actively collaborates with Georgian and international directors, participates in international festivals, and develops cross-cultural artistic partnerships and exchange projects. The theatre's distinctive stage—designed according to Mikheil Tumanishvili's own concept as an open space without a curtain or wings—continues to embody one of its fundamental principles: creating an immediate and intimate connection between actor and audience.
