3. • “The Iron Theatre” was established by the theatre director David
Andguladze and a group of young actors. Their first production - “Quite a
Different Opera”, after Bertold Brecht’s “Threepenny Opera”, was shown
under the open air. As the experiment was a great success, the production is
still in the repertoire of the Theatre. The Theatre is originally looking for
different theater aesthetics to meet the audience, focused on discovering new,
innovative expressing methods. The Iron Theatre makes the bold
experiments, which often raises an interesting theatrical aesthetics.
• On June 7, 2014, the “Iron Theatre” opened its new premises, which amazed
visitors by the extraordinary construction and space arrangement
capabilities. The construction works that started a long time ago are still in
progress, but the firs production - “Farm” has already been shown there.
“Noah’s Arch” is the most frequently mentioned association related to the
visual side of the new building. And indeed, we must admit that the modern
Ark might have looked exactly like this - large-scaled, rough and unfinished
- if it was designed to maintain life and it’s supreme from, the humanity.
• In the “Iron Theatre” will function, in parallel of dramatic performances,
TV Theatre named “TT”.
• Despite the “young age” of the theatre, it is participant of several
International Theatre Festivals. Among them is 16th International Black Sea
Theatre Festival, which held in Trabzon, On May 2015.

(on the motives of “The Threepenny Opera” by Bertold Brecht)
The production is based on the plot of “The
Threepenny Opera” by Bertold Brecht. The verbal text
and the plot of the original play are of less importance,
which is why the title of the production is “Quite a
Different Opera”. The variations of the well-known
“Mack the Knife” theme is represented by different
means (vocal, various technical and natural sounds,
etc.)
