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
