Tbilisi: Tea Tsulukiani, the Georgian Minister of Culture and Sports, attended the screening of a play, ” Comedians”, at the free theatre in Georgia.
It is to be specifically mentioned that the screening of the play “Comedians” (drama in two acts) was held in the Free Theater. The author and director of the play is Avtandil Varsimashvili (according to John Osborne’s idea). Georgian Minister of Culture and Sports Tea Tsulukiani attended the performance along with many other dignatiries.
The play tells us about the life of the actors’ family during the Abkhazian war. The youngest member of the family went to war to fight leaving his family. In the midst of unbearable presence and extreme psychological tension, family members find solutions to their dedication and love for their profession – playing on stage.
It also tells us about the plight of all those who went to fight war in far-flung areas. The family members also suffer the pain of the war. The play’s participants were Ramaz Ioseliani, Apollo Kublashvili, Natalia Voroniuki, Mariam Nadiradze, and Mamuka Mumladze.
It is worth noting that the free theatre opened on March 31, 2001, and since then, many stage artists have performed there.
The hall was full of attendees who were there to see the artists’ extraordinary performances. The stage was also beautifully decorated.
There were also solo performances as well as group performances of the performers.
The audience was very happy to attend the performances of the artists. Some also came with their family members to attend the event.
Speaking on the occasion, the minister said that this is an exceptional effort by the organisers of the event. She also said that this play displayed the problems and other difficulties faced by those who joined the armed forces and went to fight a war by leaving their families alone at home.
