The play “In the Solitude of the Cotton Fields” with John Malkovich and Ingeborga Dapkunaite will still be shown in Tbilisi.
The famous play by Bernard Marie Coltes was written in 1985. At a dark crossroads two people meet: one is the “seller”, the other is the “buyer”. The seller is trying to sell the buyer what he must tell himself. However, the buyer does not want to call this item by name and refuses the transaction in every possible way. The play is their argument, the confrontation between these two people, expressed in a play on words and meanings.

Last year, the production as part of an international theater festival was canceled due to John Malkovich's eye disease, but due to popular demand it was postponed to 2024 and now tickets are already on sale.
