Budrugana Gagra - Theatrical Shadows at Tbilisi

By Luca Pasquali · Apr 7, 2026

Budrugana Gagra is the only company in the world to practice a shadow theater created exclusively with bare hands, transforming the simplicity of gesture and music into a universal artistic and philosophical experience. Founded by Gela Kandelaki with a strong social mission, the Georgian troupe is today a symbol of resilience that links its identity to the history of Abkhazian refugees, elevating the human instinct of pareidolia into a form of pure art.
