‘A footman opened the carriage door and out she fluttered, just like a little bird!’

When Poprishchin begins to believe he to be the heir to the throne of Spain - everything is settled down in his head. He finds freedom in madness. What symbol is today this little man, working in?

How it is possible to survive in a huge world with lots of information, events, news, with hierarchy for a person like Poprichin. What is the way to obtain personal freedom?

Can we accept the conditions, limits and at the same time dream of something big and different or there is some other way? Where do we all - personalities- go to? Is there any parallel freedom?

One of the most revered theatres in Georgia, itself one of the worlds’ great theatre cultures, the Marjanishvili, founded in 1928, appears regularly at theatre festivals all over the world with big success.

Marjanishvili Theatre is repertory theatre and is number one theatre by public attendance. Classical dramas, as well as modern Georgian and International play writes are of big interest to us. With the strongest back up from the legendary Georgian artists and with the scent of Kote Marjanishvili’s – the founder of theatre - ideas - the Marjanishvili creates a unique atmosphere for artists and audience.

Brilliant Actors Company, directors of old and new generation, bold experiments and openness to new ideas is the way how theatre develops the theatrical traditions. The theatre after long renovation returned to its audiences with a new artistic director, Levan Tsuladze, one of the main forces behind the new generation of theatre in Georgia. Since 2006 the Marjanishvili has gone on to produce more than 50 productions, both classical and modern.
