ეროვნული სასახლე - National Palace

What I remember concerning the palace is that they asked me to exhibit my works
several time, when the important guests were visiting Georgia, including presidents,
government delegations… At that time I had a personal exhibition, with a handful of my
works that I could not give up to, still remained.
Then there was an anniversary of “The Knight in the Panther’s Skin” As I already had
the works for the “Tsiskari” publishing house, I also participated. My last milestone with
the Palace was also interesting, as children were reading excerpts from “The Knight in
the Panther’s Skin”, which was an interesting performance. Then we saw the classes of
painting, sculptures and filmmaking.
Huge work is done every day, every month, every year. Very good tutors work there
and teach kids painting, sculpture, literature, cinematography professionally ... It is
very important to continue this tradition. In this palace, generations have grown up,
it is a serious base for our children and should be maintained, so that they are able to
effortlessly orientate in life.

Artist
Entering this splendid hall reminds me of many things. This is an extremely beautiful
room, prestigious for every artist and dancer to perform in. I had perfect partners in
the magnificent Georgian hall dance that I performed, including Iamze Dolaberidze and
Latavra Fochiani. I remember numerous times we performed extremely successfully
here, as this dance with the great context was harmonised with the hall. Now, as I get
older, I remember everything with great pleasure.
MAny dancers went through this forge, including Sukhishvilebi dance company members.
They also recall their rehearsals here with pleasure. Remarkable choreographer, Ruben
