The Tbilisi International Theatre Festival, initiated by the Municipality of Tbilisi in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and Monuments, aims at promoting dialogue between cultures and promoting national values Because of its geopolitical location, Georgia has always held an interest for the rest of the world, particularly as it lay on the Silk Road as a significant bridge between the civilizations of East and West. Each step of the pyramid that has come to represent Georgia’s unique culture has always involved physical and visual elements. In theatre, these find expression in narratives that encompass ancient legends, religious rituals, labour and battle. Performance, or the phenomenon of displaying to others, has always been very strong amongst Georgians, be it in the formal structure of a theatre or at play. As the Ancient Greek historian Xenophon observed: “The Georgians dance whenever they are, as if qarTuli Teatri they wish to show everybody their art.” It was perhaps inevitable therefore that the cult of Dionysius, Tbilisis saerTaSoriso Teatraluri festivali, the god of theatre, wine and revelry, became widespread in romelsac atarebs qalaq Tbilsis meria da Georgia.
