I recommend going to Synetic Theater's Beauty and the Beast as you may likely have not seen anything like it before.

What did our critic think of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM at Synetic Theater? Synetic Theater's wordless A Midsummer Night's Dream is, indeed, a dream to behold. An innovative merging of drama and movement, Synetic's silent exploration of the classic work sparkles and pops. It's full of both belly laughs and tender moments. The power and athleticism of the company along with the lush production elements give a fresh perspective to experience the timeless Shakespearean favorite.

If there were any doubt in your mind that theatre is back, as thrilling and death-defying as ever, make your plans now to see Synetic Theatre’s take on the old Italian classic “Servant of Two Masters.”  Fasten your seat belts, you’ll be on a roller-coaster of virtuosity, wordless and breathless, for a solid hour and a half. 

SYNETIC THEATER is excited to announce the critically-acclaimed terrifying tales from Edgar Allan Poe, THE MADNESS OF POE, choreographed by Irina Tsikurishvili and directed by Paata Tsikurishvili is now available on the Synetic Streaming platform.

SYNETIC THEATER has announced the world premiere production of Vato Tsikurishvili’s THE SERVANT OF TWO MASTERS, with choreography by Maryam Najafzada and compositions by resident composer Konstantine Lortkipanidze.

Fans of the original staging of the 'Fall of the House of Usher' and theater-goers who enjoy productions with a bit of a spooky element for this time of year will likely enjoy the performance. But fans of Poe – the man, or just his other works – may need to temper their expectations.

SYNETIC THEATER will welcome in-person audiences back to the theater with terrifying tales from Edgar Allan Poe, THE MADNESS OF POE, choreographed by Irina Tsikurishvili and directed by Paata Tsikurishvili. 

Shakespeare's Richard III has been no stranger to DC theatre goers this season. In true Synetic fashion, their current production turns a well known tale on its...crown.

A movement-driven, cyber-punk Richard III will run May 15 through June 16, 2019 at Synetic Theater at 1800 S. Bell St in Crystal City. Tickets start at $35 and can be purchased online at www.synetictheater.org or via phone at 866-811-4111. Press Night is Saturday, May 18, 2019. To RSVP email alysa@synetictheater.org.

Longtime Synetic Theater Company Member and fan-favorite Alex Mills will star in the company's wordless adaptation of Shakespeare's Richard III May 15 through June 16, 2019 in Crystal City.

Inspired by the idea that the greatest "clowns" sometimes hide the greatest pain, Synetic Theater's creative team, helmed by Vato Tsikurishvili in his directorial debut, has created a wonderful world of pantomime and harlequin.

It is difficult to think of another work of American literature that has so captured the imagination or has inspired more reincarnations than L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This summer, Synetic Theater manages to make a mark on this prolific field with their own adaptation.

When defining theatrical productions, people like to break down the categories into two basic camps: plays and musicals. Anyone believing those two monikers are the only labels for modern theatrical productions have never witnessed a show like that put on by Synetic Theater in Arlington, VA. As the regions' premiere physical theater, Synetic continually pushes the boundaries of what can be on stage. This statement rang true during Tuesday's one-night-only engagement of Pygmalion & Galatea created by Founding Artistic Director Paata Tsikurishvili and his wife, Co-Founding Choreographer Irina Tsikurishvili. This powerful and highly stylized performance reveals all the best qualities of Synetic.

It's strange to think a Shakespeare production could render words unnecessary, but Synetic Theater's most recent wordless Shakespeare play, TITUS ANDRONICUS, gives you the impossible idea that dialogue might ruin the drama. Without speech, and without stage blood, this incarnation of TITUS is a violent spectacle brought to life by impeccable choreography, top-notch acting, and innovative scenic and lighting design (Phil Charlwood and Brian Allard).

Synetic Theater's Founding Artistic Director Paata Tsikurishvili will present the 13th installation of his Wordless Shakespeare series, Titus Andronicus, without uttering a single word or spilling a single drop of stage blood.

Paata and Irina Tsikurishvili return to the stage in this new creation to honor Synetic Theater Founding Board Member Ina Milton and Founding Company Member Philip Fletcher. It is because of Ina and Phillip that Synetic Theater is what it is today; Ina for her relentless and generous support and Philip for his undeniable talent. It's been eight years since Paata and Irina Tsikurishvili have appeared on stage together, and they want to take this opportunity to invite you to share in celebrating Ina Milton and Philip Fletcher. Don't miss this once in a lifetime chance to see Synetic Theater's founding husband and wife team of Paata and Irina Tsikurishvili together again on stage.

Synetic Theater's Founding Artistic Director Paata Tsikurishvili will present the 13th installation of his Wordless Shakespeare series, Titus Andronicus.
