„Goddess: There is so little life there... a dark, ugly principle reigns: not everyone
understands it. The simple utopia—either everyone or no one—has long been worn out and
narrowed. One look outside is enough, and I know that communism, as an Indian philosopher
once read to me from a very old book, will never become the destiny of people.
Harlequin: And I keep thinking, why has the suicide rate for love dropped to zero? Why
doesn't anyone kill themselves for love anymore? Was there a time when people did? There
was a time when love still meant something. I think I have hair to wash.
Goddess: How can you be so immoral, Marquis? How can you cancel a meeting a few
minutes before and say that you have to wash your hair?“
Giorgi Jamburia's "Berserkies at Home" is the third play of the five-part cycle, conceived on different themes
and issues - under the common title and various subtitles - "Berserkies"; "Berserkies - Mission" (text by Heiner
Müller) and "Berserkies - Sunny Side" (written by Keti Nizharadze) . Two of them - the first and third parts
were presented together with the company "Haraki", while the third one - in a new and young independent
space - the City Theater.
Review
Performance of solid construction, precise "mechanics", clearly defined tempo-rhythm,
is built on improvisations and interaction, the course of which also depends on how the performance will go
that particular day (physically and emotionally) and what kind of audience is sitting in the hall. The maximum
closeness of action places and mise-en-scenes, characters to the audience unites the hall and the stage and at the
same time creates more resistance with the unusual effect of proximity. This kind of conventionality breaks the
laws of conventionality of the theater and moves to a new artistic reality.

Theatre Company Haraki was founded in 2019. The company's main working principles are
research, collaboration, and experimentation. The team consists of 11 members - stage
director, manager, playwriter and 6 actors - all the works of the company is a result of
combined efforts of the team.
Haraki often hosts other theater groups whose vision is similar to Haraki's and strives not to
limit itself to theater activities but to be an open, active and critical cultural space in the city
The goal of the team is to engage in the process and as a result of this process create a work
that serves self-awareness and finding new points of contact with society. The theater was
opened on May 15, 2021 in the Wine Factory , Petriashvili #1- the city heart. The theater is
an independent organization from the beginning to the end and is nourished by its own funds
and enthusiasm.
