Abstract

Severe political and social problems of the 20th century received a response by the Georgian Theatre with a slight delay, however still in the 90-ies. It turned out that at the end of the second decade of the 21st century the problems that have been important in the 90-ies of the last century are still unresolved. In the art of new generation stage directors who emerged right in the period when Georgia was overwhelmed with wars and decomposed state institutions, distanced themselves from time and reflected important themes anew.
