Rezo Gabriadze Puppet Theater
Fee required
A small, whimsical theater in Tbilisi, Georgia, known for its deeply touching marionette performances for adult audiences and its iconic Leaning Clock Tower.

It features high-brow dramas performed by marionettes and is home to the charmingly disheveled Leaning Clock Tower, a modern, bizarre structure that appears on the brink of falling.
