About the performance:
An anonymous 16th-century Italian comedy play created between 1535 and 1550 is largely considered a classic of Renaissance folk theater. This drama, discovered in the 1920s, is well-known for its excellent portrayal of Venice's cultural and social dynamics at the period.
The play's passionate and somewhat dangerous plot centers on the complicated interrelationships of characters from various social strata. It follows two Venetian women, Angela and Valeria, as they fall in love with the same youngster, Giulio. Angela, a wealthy widow, and Valeria, a young noblewoman, attempt to track down Julio, resulting in a comical and convoluted tangle.
they go into the difficulties surrounding love, desire, and temptation.
La Veniexiana provides vital insights into the cultural and social fabric of Renaissance epoch Venice, portraying the city's customs, language, as well as social class interactions, with amazing complexity. It is a vivid representation of Venetian life.

The great Georgian stage director and reformer, Kote Marjanishvili founded the second state theatre back in 1928. Ever since the theatre has carried on the traditions set by the founder and has earned the status of a “social theatre” by marrying the tradition with novelty and never failing to keep up the quality of its productions. Not only does Marjanishvili Theatre maintain the leading position in the contemporary Georgian cultural scene but it also comes to assume the role of a social educator and commentator.
The outstanding Gergian director Levan Tsuladze has held the post of the artistic director of the theatre since 2006 putting together a wonderful team of actors, directors, painters and composers who try to meet contemporary technological challenges and find new avenues through experimentation.
The theatre annually premiers from 7 to 10 plays and has got 30 productions included in its repertoire staged by directors across all age groups. The plays range from national to world classics with a special emphasis on contemporary authors and texts. This could explain the prevalence of young audience among its 50 000 viewers per season.
The theatre transcends its primary role and enjoys a profile of a diverse and vibrant social institution which promotes various art projects and brings together contemporary Georgian poets and writers. It hosts literary and educational projects, exhibitions, play readings by young dramatists and other cultural events.
Marjanishvili theatre tours extensively throughout the world and participates in major festivals. The theatre is involved in co-productions with its counterparts in Great Britain, Italy, Germany, Greece, Poland, Azerbaijan, Macedonia and Ukrain.
After the Marjanishvili theatre performance in Globe Theatre The Guardian’s Kate Kellaway wrote:
“If all the theatre in Georgia comes anywhere close to the standard of the Marjanishvili company, then the job of theatre critic there must be the most covetable in the land”
