Tbilisi State Puppet Theater named after Rezo Gabriadze
Cultural institution in Tbilisi.
Located in the historic district
The old town, on Shavteli Street, 13. The landmark of the city, a very pleasant place, we could not get into the theater itself, but we walked around the city with great pleasure.
A place to visit if you want to get into the spirit of Tbilisi. Rezo Gabriadze's performances are imbued with kindness, naive trust and benevolence inherent in the Georgian people. The genre of the puppet theater continues a number of visual images created by the artists Pirosmani and Gudiashvili. It should be borne in mind that the hall is a chamber and tickets must be purchased in advance.
A great place in old Tbilisi. A very unusual building with a clock on the tower, which strikes every hour with the release of dolls. The street nearby, unlike the whole old town, is very well maintained, it is one of the best tourist destinations. Nearby cafes, art salons, the residence of the Patriarch.
The hall in the theater is small and cozy. The performance is in Georgian, there is simultaneous accompaniment in headphones in Russian with the sweetest Georgian accent (it looks like Rezo Gabriadze himself read it). The play about the legacy of the French marshal is a direct continuation of the famous story about the matchmaker Khanuma - it's a firework of humor!
This is a must-visit place!
A wonderful fabulous fascinating theater! Be sure to visit! Simultaneous translation with a slight accent gives a special atmosphere! I really liked the performance! At some point you forget that these are dolls!
A visit to the Rezo Gabriadze Puppet Theater left a pleasant impression. I liked the atmosphere in the theater and the plot of the play. The theater is a cozy and soulful place, and the lobby creates a special atmosphere with the opening day of the works. The presence of a line in English and headphones with a Russian translation makes the visit accessible to everyone.
An extraordinary theater, as well as the creator of the theater. Required to visit.
I watched the play Alfred and Violetta. Touching, gentle, philosophical, sad and very Georgian. Madlobo, master and students!❤
If you haven't been to this theater, you lose a lot! The wonderful atmosphere will amaze both adults and children. We laughed with pleasure, were sad and surprised at the performance of Ramon. I didn't want to leave! A kaleidoscope of emotions! Tickets were bought on chairs in the first row in the corner for 160 GEL. But we didn't mind overpaying, given that all the seats were sold out. I managed to see the director of the theater out of the corner of my eye - Leo Gabriadze (dada! He was playing Kin dza dza)It's a pity that the restaurant at the theater with an unimaginable man-made interior was closed.
A visit to the theater is worthy of a description for an entire book. A small cozy room. There are individual translators. The puppets are amazing. The actors who control the dolls are masters of their craft. At some point, you begin to perceive the puppets as real actors (although they are not real)
Everything in and around the theater admires the talent of the Master. From the stunning performance to the tiles and the tower. This is an amazing place. It is necessary to come here so that the soul can enjoy.
A wonderful atmospheric place. A small foyer. A small hall. We bought tickets online - a friend paid with a Georgian card. The performance was in Georgian with simultaneous translation into Russian - headphones were given. If you like a philosophical Georgian view of the world with elements of absurdity and humor, you are welcome here. We watched the Georgian version of the Lady with Camellias. The interior is beautiful!
A very interesting place to visit with an advanced local expert guide👍 We had a David who colorfully told us about all the secrets and secrets. Just watching a free show in the tower at 12 and 19 o'clock is not enough, you must definitely find out about all the details. Then we went with him on a tour of the courtyards of Tbilisi for about 3 hours.
This is a miracle, one of the main attractions of modern Tbilisi. It's hard to describe - you have to see for yourself. The puppets are real, one might say alive. Both joy and sadness. Life. It is better to buy tickets in advance.
I attended Ramona's performance, an amazing puppet show, a very touching love story, if someone is afraid of not knowing the language, there are headphones with translation. I recommend it, a chamber atmosphere, a small very cozy hall.
The atmosphere was fire, we were all delighted, it makes sense to go to the performance, we really liked it, we hardly bought tickets, it turns out they are sold on the 25th of every month
A wonderful production and a magical atmosphere that is difficult to convey in words. You should definitely visit this theater if you come to Tbilisi. But you need to buy tickets in advance through the theater's website, since at the box office before the performance, most likely everything will already be sold out.
A magic point on the city map. If you want to go to the performance on the tower, the one at 12:00 and 19:00 - Do not be late, the figures are shown on time and very quickly
A wonderful little fairy-tale theater. A very witty translation of the play into Russian! I recommend that you definitely visit. We were sitting on side chairs, but we didn't regret at all that we bought tickets. It's a pity that we didn't get to the cafe at the theater
I learned about the wonderful Puppet Theater of Rezo Gabriadze in the largest reference catalog about Georgia - madloba.info . This theater is one of the oldest cultural institutions in Georgia. I found out that the performances in it are designed for adults and children over 12 years old, and currently the program includes 4 performances: "Autumn of my Spring", "Stalingrad", "Ramona" and "The Diamond of the Marshal de Fantier".
It is very interesting that some productions are in Russian, and there are also subtitles in English, which makes it accessible to different visitors. It is also interesting that the ticket price starts from GEL 70.
It is also interesting to know that free minute-long performances of the theater can be seen on the tower of the building daily at 12:00 and 19:00 hours.
I really want to visit the Rezo Gabriadze Puppet Theater and enjoy their unique performances. Thank you very much madloba.info for such useful information!
It's a very nice place. I've wanted to get in for a long time, but I've never had tickets in fact. This time we bought it in advance and got there!
A small theater, headphones with translation are provided, the staff is very friendly.

One of the most magical and friendly places in Tbilisi. Rezo Gabriadze lives in his fabulous tower at the entrance, every detail of the theater's interior and his texts. Caring, hospitable, wonderful theater.
A colorful theater! However, it does not cost cheap 70 GEL. It didn't really come to choose the play, I went for what it was. The play was in the style of mimino. I liked the game of actors and dolls. The play was in Georgian, and headphones with a translation into Russian were given at the entrance. There are performances twice a day, the hall was full, although not small.
Wonderful theater. There is a favorite tourist spot in Old Tbilisi nearby: a clock tower and a puppet theater! The Theater itself is very atmospheric. There will be an opportunity to definitely try to get to the performance.
A favorite place for tourists, the playground is filled before the start of the performance. The meaning of what you see leaves impressions for a long time. You can take good photos, buy souvenirs, there is an ancient temple nearby, which you can also visit, receive the blessings of the holy father.
This tower does not fall, it was built that way! That's what our guide told us)
The structure is new despite its deceptively ancient appearance. This is the tower of the puppet theater. Every hour an angel comes out of the upper window and strikes the bell with a hammer as many times as it is time.
And at 12 o'clock the whole performance begins: figures leave the lower window. They tell the story of human life in five short scenes.
I am very glad that I went to the puppet theater. There is a simultaneous translation from Georgian into Russian, for English-speaking tourists and speakers. I'm impressed.
It has been a long-standing dream to visit the Rezo Gabriadze Theater. Since the time of the Moscow tour. I couldn't believe that I could get into the theater itself. Turn out. Tickets were bought online, no problem, a few days before the performances. The productions are touching, ironic, and serious. There are not many performances in the repertoire. You need to watch everything. For the atmosphere of the theater, for the magic. And don't forget to get translator headphones from the administrator, the text is mostly in Georgian. And the plays are written in such a way that every line is important
Good atmosphere, interior, I advise you to visit, we liked it.

This is an extraordinary place with an even more extraordinary history. It is only on foot to enjoy the streets and the atmosphere. And don't regret taking a newspaper-style photo with a local resourceful entrepreneur.
We weren't at the actual performance, the theater was on tour (so we were told). They were satisfied with the appearance. An interesting architectural structure. It seems that it is about to fall apart. An entertaining mini performance on the clock during the battle. An atmospheric place!
Very atmospheric, touching! The theater, the puppets, the acting are wonderful! Deep meaning. I would like to visit the theater again. Great respect and respect for the actors!
Again, as in 2018, we walked to this amazing place. It's fascinating. And although the theater is not for children at all, there is still a feeling of childhood. The performances here are quite serious.
Tips for those who will go for the first time.
If possible, choose seats on the second third row - no higher.
Before the performance begins, you do not need to look at the clock striking on the tower. Come right into the hall. All the performances are in Georgian and if you linger on the square, you may not have enough audio translator. It is not very convenient to watch performances and read a running text in English.
The Ioseliani family lives nearby (opposite the Temple).The Gabriadze Tower is all alone at 8 a.m. and it's a miracle how good it is.The image of a man in his youth (a small clock at the bottom), in adulthood (a huge dial with sores) and in old age - when everything is finally smooth (the tower too) and the Garden blooms…Listen to what the guides are saying - divide by three and you will understand that there is a steel frame inside the fragile Gabriadze.It's a pity the theater is closed.
If you want to feel like a child and a wise adult at the same time, take a look at this theater. The magic of puppet control and the depth of the productions may surprise you.
We were only nearby, we looked at the clock :) In general, considering that the center is relatively small, you need to go in. Since you are in Tbilisi. Recommended
Yandex does not allow you to view the full name of the object. Well, like everywhere else. We have elections like this. I understand that the Rezo Gabriadze Theater. Delight and more delight. This phone chopped up with an axe is super
The theater is amazing, it's a pity that we have managed to attend only one performance so far. It was a performance of "Alfred and Violetta", we were all very impressed. I will definitely go there again next time! Both outside and inside is one continuous pleasure.
We did not visit the theater itself, we watched a mini-performance of dolls on the street, they leave the top of the tower to the sound of the clock and music, the performance begins at the end of every hour, if I'm not mistaken, from 12 to 16, but this is not accurate, check on the Internet
I have long dreamed of getting into this theater. Expectations were met by 💯%. The atmosphere, the performance and the hall itself are at a high level. Bravo!
A must-visit!!! You won't see this anywhere. The plastic and facial expressions of the dolls are amazing. The plot hides deep meanings and associations behind its simplicity. The audience cried 4 times out of empathy for the heroes. From the outside, the theater is amazing in architecture and details. Find a magpie, jump up and make the Earth a little smaller in weight)) and come and watch a puppet show on the street at 12.00 and 19.00 and every hour
