Tbilisi, Georgia, 2001. Poverty and crime are devastating country; power cuts and water shortage are daily issues. A severe political regime is in power. A lead journalist is murdered, while the only private channel is literally bombed. In these circumstances a private political theatre, right in front of the government building.
The first show is about social issues and politicians are mentioned as thieves. The second show is a censored play about young boys murdered after President’s order. The third show directly targets the government, mentioning them by names.
The situation slowly escalates, resulting in a battle where either side was winning and lost parties.
