SAKESHVILI: THE PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC CIRCUS Postponed at Theatre Gigante
The U.S. premiere, directed by Isabelle Kralj at Next Act Theatre, is rescheduled due to cast health issues.
Theatre Gigante has had to postpone its June production, Sakeshvili: The People's Democratic Circus, and move it to next season.
The production shared, "In our 38 years of existence, this has never happened to us and it was a very difficult decision to make. But it is necessary, since two out of four of our actors have come down with unexpected health issues that are making it impossible to present the show in June."
The production was previously set to run from June 5 - 13, 2026 in the Next Act Theatre's Performance Space.
The winner of the Grum Award 2016 for best new Slovenian play Sakeshvili: The People's Democratic Circus is a hilarious social satire in the Absurdist Theatre style, which captures the collapsed world of citizens of Sakeshvili Land, who not only
perform in a circus, but live in one. The absurdly comic situations grapple with the topic
of constant brainwashing, and take us on a journey with four clownlike figures attempting
to find their personalities, identities, dignities, and everything else that defines them as
humans. The bizarre situational episodes, though full of insight into the real face of
society, are surreal, witty and very metaphorical in nature.
