Supra - A Feast is a unique performance, specially developed for the Georgia Festival. During the evening a meal will be enjoyed together and various performances will take place. The texts in the performance include fragments of Haratischvili's novels and plays.

Georgian Supra
A supra is a traditional Georgian feasting table that takes a central spot in social life. Georgian food, wine and polyphonic song play an important part. The supra largely arose within a male, patriarchal tradition, although women were always honoured in song – for their beauty and cookery. Haratischwili wants to explore this tradition from a female perspective, with you, the viewer. Four female Georgian musicians and three actresses join the table. They eat, drink and sing, tell stories of women, and question existing structures. Join the feast and view the supra through the female gaze.



Nino Haratischwili (1983, Tbilisi) is an author, playwright, and director. She has been writing in both German and Georgian since she was twelve.
