Director: Tata Tavdishvili, Tato Geliashvili 

Non-verbal

57 minutes.

Performance AIA - is built on archaic myths and ballads, which is based on great esoteric and hidden knowledge. The Colchian world, with its diversity, allows the events of that time to be interestingly and metaphorically translated into body language at the expense of energy-information conduction.

The whole concept of the play tells us about the importance of the power of nature, in which Medea became the mediator of information and gave her supernatural properties. The goal is for society to feel the influence of nature on the formation of our personality and abilities.

It is important to remember where we come from. It is necessary to find the balance of the elements in us. It is around this topic that the characters in the performance unite and translate these energies, the power they feel, into the equivalent of the genetic code in the body. The genre of the show is defined as fantasy. The world of that time seen from our perspective and its peculiarities. The real or fictional facts that brought us to the present day.
