EVANGELION

Evangelion – completely new and daring choreographic-drama project of State Youth Theatre. 6 Biblical stories are told in free, contemporary dance style. The famous Georgian choreographer Gia Marghania is an author of the performance. His idea was not just to illustrate marvelous Evangelistic texts, but to express emotional and spiritual condition in plastic. The theatre actors present parables of John the Baptist, The Prodigal Son, Mary Magdalene, Salome, Judas and Song of Songs. The performance is staged in very modern way, but at the same time, the director-choreographer uses the so called medieval artistic and conceptual method – before each episode an actor reads the corresponding parable. This is an impressive artistic symbiosis, which harmoniously combines choreography, music, drama and visual arts.
