The performance is dedicated to the 180th anniversary of Niko Nikoladze’s birth. It depicts a specific and outstanding person. The play tells the story of his public activities as a talented publicist, scientist, politician, educator, and statesman. Nikoladze’s long, fruitful life was filled with relationships with interesting people and participation in important political events, building the country and pursuing the right course.
In the play, two puppets and four actors tell us about Niko Nikoladze’s life, beliefs, ideology, and activities.
“I have travelled Europe and spent months and years in many excellent countries, in many wonderful societies, but everywhere and always, wherever I have been, I have had one thing in mind: my country, to create for you, to serve you, to use you.” Niko Nikoladze
