Elene Matskhonashvili on the 19th Tehran-Mubarak International Puppet Festival

she said that Tehran-Mubarak  International Puppet Festival is a new discovery for me, " "In these shows, I have directly and frankly narrated the way of life of two famous people from my hometown in the social and cultural fields."

 

The show "Niko Pirosmani" deals with the life of the self-taught and famous Georgian painter. "Niko Nikoladze" is about one of the innovative intellectuals of Georgia who has made many efforts in the transition of Georgia from tradition to modernity by carrying out many construction and development projects in his country and reaching the position of the municipality of one of the big cities of Georgia.
