Age Control 14+ Duration 70 min
Premiere in Sokhumi Theatre! This performance highlights the importance of understanding the events unfolding in Abkhazia, our homeland. The play is set within a mixed family, where the husband is Abkhazian and the wife is Georgian. Their teenage son, lost in his world, seeks only beauty, but do his parents truly understand him? Amidst the turbulent surroundings, he faces immense psychological pressure. In this household, we encounter various individuals engaged in family matters: a tenant, a Russian-speaking priest, and an Abkhazian doctor educated in Tbilisi. The interactions and events involving these characters unfold in a manner that is both intriguing and unexpected. Through their stories, the performance illustrates the complex circumstances that led to Abkhazia's separation from our country.
