About the Performance

Whether waiting for true love, simple companionship, or a fleeting romance, a person encounters countless unexpected twists and turns. “Friday” captures the essence of this very anticipation.

On a Friday evening, in a shared space where diverse lives intersect, we observe unfolding stories from a distance—the pain, the joy, and the quiet human dramas. This is a story about the constant longing for that one special person, and how much we prepare, worry, and hope—all too often, completely in vain.

 

Founded in 2023 by the visionary Georgian director Levan Tsuladze, Theatre Studio 42 is an independent theater born to redefine the country's cultural landscape. Making our home in the industrial center of Didube—at the vibrant Tbilisi Factory complex on 114 Tsereteli Avenue—we believe that independent theater is not just a luxury, but a vital necessity integrated into the very social and economic fabric of Tbilisi.

Our venue features a unique 264-seat auditorium equipped for modern staging, flanked by a lively, interactive foyer complete with theatrical cafés and contemporary art galleries. We are a space where art lives before and after the curtain falls.

Though our journey is just beginning, our impact has been immediate. By the end of our third season, our repertoire has expanded to include 15  diverse productions, seamlessly crossing genres from classical adaptations and documentary theater to contemporary drama and modern choreography. In parallel, our educational programs and modern technology workshops have seen surging demand. We run meeting with audience regularly as well as have wonderful youtube channel with lectures about theatre led by Levan Tsouladze.

We are deeply committed to connecting Tbilisi to the international arts community. Through digital workshops, exchange projects, global conferences, and a strong push toward international co-productions, we are actively expanding our horizons. Because we operate without a rigid permanent ensemble, our stage serves as a fluid crossroads where iconic, experienced actors and fearless young performers create together. We have navigated many steep challenges as an independent startup, but through that struggle, we have built a profound repertoire, captured a massive audience, and earned both local popularity and international recognition.
