Giorgi Aleksidze Tbilisi Contemporary Ballet started digital contemporary choreography performances series due to the pandemic.
The key idea and design of Mariam Aleksidze and David Maziashvili’s original project is to transmit the concept using words, music and choreography from a personal space – a house, a flat, a room – into the virtual universe.
The first performance in the live stream format series was premiered on May 31st - Mariam Aleksidze’s original choreographic performance “Marijan’s Room”.
Mariam Aleksidze animated the diaries of one of the first professional woman poet in Georgia Marijan – Mariam Tkemaladze-Aleksidze – in Marijan’s flat, streaming the mono-choreographic performance live to the audience via the Facebook page of Giorgi Aleksidze Tbilisi Contemporary Ballet.

The ballet Marijan’s Room was prepared remotely, in quarantine amid coronavirus pandemic. Mariam Aleksidze worked on the concept, artistic ideas and text together with David Maziashvili.
Actresses Eka Molodinashvili, Lela Akhalaia and Natalia Jugheli recorded Marijan’s text for the musical version of the ballet in the isolation of their own homes.
The text written by Marijan in 1925 is full of her personal emotions: these thoughts, truly intimate on the one hand, are also universal and very topical today.
