One of the cultural attractions of the Old City is Tbilisi State Marionette Theatre, created and managed by Revaz Gabriadze, a script writer of many Soviet cult movies, such as "Kin-dz-dza!", "Mimino" and many others
Revaz Gabriadze is a multitalented
artist - a writer and a playwright,
a director, a designer, a
painter and a sculptor
Revaz Gabriadze has designed the theatre building as an eclectic fusion of forms
and materials, yet unmistakably putting his very
heart into this project
The theatre has turned into one of
the most intriguing tourist
attractions in Tbilisi with
performances taking place there
on weekends
A remarkable piece in its repertoire is "The Battle of Stalingrad", performed there for already 18 years
