Youth theater performances

After the New Year holidays, the youth theater resumed its work. In January, puppet theater and forum theater performances were held.

A puppet theater performance took place in Kutaisi school No 2nd. Primary school students liked the performance, then they cheerfully joined the discussion - they talked about their favorite characters, friendship, and helping each other.

The Forum Theater presented a performance on the topic of migration in the city center. Some viewers were worried because... their family members are also emigrants, but noted that this is a pressing problem, and young people have the right vision...

Forum-theatre performances in Zugdidi

Forum-theater performances in Zugdidi were dedicated to the 16-day campaign against gender-based violence against women.

The young actors played five scenes and each scene was followed by an interesting discussion. The audience mentioned that this is a very difficult topic and people can be better informed in this way.

Women noted:

"We obviously saw the mistakes we make in raising our children".

"We were brought up more strictly and we have already changed our attitude towards our children."

The scenes of the Forum Theater aim to raise awareness about the issues of gender-based violence in the IDP community.

The campaign is supported by the European Union and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in frames of the EU4Dialogue project.

Forum Theater – waiting for changes

An active rehearsal process has started in Forum Theater. The group is waiting for changes. Casting was announced, interviews are underway, and we are expecting a new group of young actors. Similar changes often happen in Forum Theater as group members leave after finishing school.

In September, two performances were held in the central parks of Kutaisi, the season of good weather is already ending, and the Forum Theater maximally used this space. Playing outdoors is a great experience for actors.

The discussions during the performances were interesting and open, but the fact is that the audience does not want to be photographed.
