The adventure of love MITEM

The Griboyedov Theatre's production "The Avenues of Love" is the first performance based on Ivan Bunin’s works to be staged in Georgia. The play is inspired by the legendary "Dark Avenues" cycle and is based on the stories "Muse", "In Paris", "Rusia", "Sunstroke", "Madrid", "The Calling Cards", "The Steamer Saratov", "Dark Avenues", "Caucasus". "I consider »Dark Avenues « to be the best thing I have ever written", Bunin once stated. According to the writer, "all the stories in this book are solely about love—its 'dark' and somber, ruthless avenues." These "fatal stories", directed by Avtandil Varsimashvili, come together in a theatrical symphony, weaving multiple love stories into an intricate "lacework" of emotions, creating a strikingly sensitive and immersive atmosphere. And even when the stories are unhappy and tragic, fateful and fleeting, the audience ultimately comes to understand that love is the most powerful and beautiful experience a person can have in life.
