From 1972 onwards, Giorgi Aleksidze was the Head Ballet Master of Zakaria Paliashvili State Opera and Ballet Theatre and, and in 1985-2004 – the Artistic Director of its Ballet Company. He introduced the genre of symphonic dance, neoclassical style to the Georgian ballet, gave a new perspective to the classical ballets, created numerous original ballets forming a synthesis of elements from the Georgian and classical dances, using Georgian themes, working together with Georgian composers and artists. He created an original programme for educating ballet masters. The genres of choreographic miniature and chamber ballet were the pinnacle of his work. For the highest achievements in the development of ballet miniature, he was posthumously awarded the Russian theatre prize – “Golden Sofit”.
11 miniatures are presented at the Evening of Giorgi Aleksidze Choreography, each one of them – a masterpiece. After Giorgi Aleksidze’s death, Marina and Mariam Aleksidze restored the miniatures. In the second part of the Evening, contemporary ballet “Diplipito” is presented. Giorgi Aleksidze staged composer Giya Kancheli’s “Diplipito” in 1999, while working as the Artistic Director of Zakaria Paliashvili State Opera and Ballet Theatre Ballet Company. The choreographer combined Giya Kancheli’s work with the theme of Phaedra.
Seventeen years later, “Diplipito” was restored by Ketevan Mukhashavria, the Ballet Master of Giorgi Aleksidze Tbilisi Contemporary Ballet, and Marina and Mariam Aleksidze.
