Theatrical life of Batumi

People often look for a space where they can escape reality, travel through time and space, and dream. Theater gives us this emotion and opportunity. This is not just a stage where theatrical art is traditionally presented, it is a place where you can find yourself. An environment where you can see your own life and discover the qualities of people in each staged performance.
