About the Performance
A prestigious co-production of the Nodar Dumbadze Tbilisi Theatre for Young Audiences and the Shota Rustaveli State University of Theatre and Film, “Blaise”—the classic French comedy by Claude Magnier—delivers a masterclass in wit, sharp irony, and kinetic situational humor.
At the heart of the plot is Blaise, a young man whose seemingly harmless choices ignite a cascade of increasingly tangled misunderstandings, rapidly spiraling into a magnificent storm of comic chaos. Driven by Magnier's trademark breakneck pacing, sparkling dialogue, and sophisticated French humor, the production maintains an electric, high-octane atmosphere on stage. As the characters desperately scramble to conceal the truth and protect their own hidden agendas, they are swept into a breathless succession of absurdities, keeping the audience thoroughly captivated from the first curtain to the final bow
The Nodar Dumbadze State Youth Theater, founded in 1927, is the first children's theater in the South Caucasus and has been serving audiences in the capital city and regional areas for almost a century. With a diverse repertoire that spans Georgian dramaturgy, world classics, contemporary plays, and works by celebrated children's authors, the theater offers performances tailored for various age groups—ranging from 4 to 18 years old—as well as evening productions for adult audiences.
In addition to its main and small stages, the theater has operated an experimental stage since 2012, providing a dedicated platform for young directors to pursue creative experiments. The theater is equally committed to introducing its work outside of Tbilisi, having toured countries such as Italy, Hungary, Belarus, Turkey, Albania, Serbia, and Ukraine. The theater's dedication to nurturing young talent and providing a space for artistic exploration has made it a beloved institution among audiences and artists alike. Furthermore, its commitment to expanding its reach beyond Georgia's borders has helped showcase the country’s rich cultural heritage and vibrant contemporary art scene to the world
