The Rezo Gabriadze Marionette Theater is not just a theater, but a real art legend created by the iconic Georgian artist, screenwriter and director Rezo Gabriadze. From the outside, the theater building looks like an illustration from a fairy tale book: an asymmetrical tower decorated with mosaics, intricate patterns, and ancient bricks that seem to have survived the centuries. I recommend visiting this location while walking around Tbilisi.

If you find yourself in Tbilisi, be sure to treat yourself to an encounter with this amazing theater. It's not just a performance — it's a real magic that stays with you for a long time. I watched the play "Weirdos" and did not expect such depth at all. Subtle Georgian humor hides reflections on life, love, loneliness, hope and the human soul. Here you laugh, and a moment later you catch yourself with tears in your eyes. That, in my opinion, is exactly what a real theater should be. After the final, the whole hall gave a standing ovation. And these were ovations not only for the artists, but also for the amazing world that managed to create the theater. I would like to thank the staff of the theater for their attention, kindness and the opportunity to touch this miracle. Such a sincere attitude towards the audience is very rare and makes the impression even warmer. And be sure to stay at the theater building at 12:00 or 19:00. Every day, the famous clock comes to life here, and a small street performance becomes a surprisingly accurate parable about the transience of human life. It's only a few minutes, but there's a whole philosophy to it. As in everything that this theater creates. This is a place where you really want to come back again and again. Not only for the sake of the performances, but also for the feeling that art really can make a person a little happier.

The Tbilisi State Puppet Theater named after Rezo Gabriadze, a great director, playwright, and screenwriter (there would be no cult films #Kindza_dza and #Mimino without him), and an artist and a sculptor (he molded St. Petersburg's #Chizhik_Puff and #Nose). In 2010, a clock tower was added to the theater building. Every hour, a golden-winged angel appears from the painted doors at the top of the tower and strikes the hour with a hammer on the bell. The tiled decorations on the facade were made by Rezo Gabriadze himself. ✨✨✨ They are incredibly beautiful!
