Gabriadze Theater

This place is amazing! It’s full of lovely details you can discover everywhere — there’s always something new to observe and explore. The show itself had a deep historical context and was incredibly touching and beautiful. Don’t miss the charming souvenir shop inside the theater — it’s worth a visit! Outside, you’ll find a stunning, detail-filled tower. Look closely and you’ll spot the ultra tiny working clock, and if you’re there on the hour, you’ll see a little doll come out to strike the bell

It's a gem of Tbilisi in terms of atmosphere, creativity, design and architecture. However, I felt like the show that I watched (Ramona) requires some refreshing. It's touching and nice, but somehow feels awkwardly obsolete. Also I felt just sad about numerous typos in the English subtitles.

A completely unique experience in such a beautiful place ❤️ Tickets sell out really fast so I recommend buying as much in advance as possible!

Although we didn’t get a chance to go inside the Gavriadze Theatre, just seeing the building and its surroundings was quite special. The theatre’s exterior is charming and whimsical, especially the famous leaning clock tower next to it. The clock puts on a small puppet show every hour, which was a delightful surprise and attracted a nice crowd.

We came here to see the puppet show, Autumn of Spingtime and I must say this was such a special and touching performance, from the puppeteers to the music to the visuals. The theatre is very beautiful and full of art. The performance is a type of combination of storytelling and art which you cannot find anywhere else. The puppets are so well made and controlled that they come to life! If you come to Tbilisi, whatever age, I must recommend you to watch this! It has subtitles in English and you can get headphones which translate it into Russian. There is also a café, toilets, a place where you can leave bags/ coats and a small shop where you can buy souvenirs.

We were fortunate to get seats for a show, which was so moving that many in the audience were reduced to tears. An outstanding theatre in every way.

The theatre and the show was a very beautiful and magical experience. The story we saw about Boris the bird with the big heart was enthralling and also very funny. The puppets really come to life with excellent artists, story and music. It’s definitely a highlight of our visit to Tbilisi. One thing to note - We bought a glass of red wine (very expensive, but nice) at the bar in the theatre before the show, and weren’t told you aren’t allowed to take your drinks into the theatre area. So I wouldn’t buy a drink here unless you are super early and have time to drink it leisurely in the foyer before the show.

Absolutely enchanting! The Gabriadze Theater is pure magic – intimate, creative, and full of heart. The handmade puppets and poetic stories make this a truly unforgettable experience. A must-see in Tbilisi, I can’t recommend it highly enough!
