Eka graduated from the faculty of History and Theory of Art at Ivane Javakhishvili University; she received her PhD in Management of Art and Culture from the Academy of Management and Arts, Grenoble, France. Since 2006 Eka manages Kote Marjanishvili Theater in Tbilisi, and since 2009 she is the director of the Tbilisi International Theatre Festival. She has also lectured on “Practices…

The truth is, there aren’t a lot of cocktail bars in town, just a handful. There are a lot of bars and restaurants with great ambiance and aura, but you won’t find a serious cocktail menu, and even if you do, the execution might not meet your refined standards. This is true if you’re a cocktail junkie just like me. I don’t drink often. But whenever I travel to a new city, I, literally, read every TripAdvisor post…

Interview With Luka Metreveli (L8)

Back then I didn’t know his name or the fact that he was a DJ. We both practically lived there and would warmly greet each other. The same would happen at the Open Air festival and at Mzesumzira fest too – the only difference here was that I found him standing on the stage. You should’ve seen my face when I realized that this boy with colorful handmade T-shirts was, in fact, the Luka Metreveli I had heard so…

Pedestrians are constantly forced to find their way around the cars parked right on the sidewalks, and drivers won’t be able to tell you if they get to their destination faster by car or on foot. While strolling through the streets of Tbilisi, I notice more and more colorful scooters happily passing through – in all the chaos the tiny scooters definitely have some authority. It hasn’t been long since some people started using scooters, but their number is steadily growing. So, I…

The Pantomimist – Amiran Shalikashvili Junior
The story of Amiran Shalikashvili’s Pantomime Theater turned out to be far more interesting than I had anticipated. It was also unexpectedly sad. We talked about a lot of things: pantomime as a way of life, the state of the current theatre and his plans for its modernization, his father’s legacy, and the future of Georgian Pantomime, etc. What was your first time on stage like? What was the theatre like back then? Amiran Shalikashvili Junior: I started doing this when I was thirteen, and I’ve been doing it since. It was the 90s back then, and to be honest, I entered the theatre by accident. For some time after…
