“The purpose of birth is learning
The purpose of learning is to grasp the Divine
The purpose of apprehending the Divine
is to maintain the endurance of one who apprehends
with the joy of apprehending”
ABRAHAM ABULAFIA
The 21st letter of the Hebrew alphabet “Shin” consists of several letters. It is formed from three symmetrical lines running from bottom to top. In Gematria, Shin represents the number 300. The decomposition of its namesake, Shin [300] – Yodh [10] – Nunh [50], gives the geometric meaning of 360, denoting 360, a complete cycle, and also a complete circle. And in another meaning, Shin means a lie. The letter is found on Mezuzah, in which the Bible’s text is written on a parchment scroll. The text in Mezuzah is the prayer of Shema Yisrael, calling on the Israelites to love their God with all their heart, soul and strength. The Mezuzah is placed on all the door frames of the buildings. It is also a symbol of change and grace that is born in the eyes of human-being meaning that everything is fine, and if it is reflected in the mirror of the world then it is a way of changing, the path of humanity changes for the better.
-Who am I now? A Biological creature that carries death? What was I doing before? What Should I do next? What are my hidden treasures? What can I believe and what can not? Maybe I am really reborn and this birth is a transition from the unconscious to the conscious? This might be a way of personal transformation.-
In order to create something new from an existing object, you need to deconstruct it, and then try to create something new. Each new is the end of something old.
The deconstruction of the three lines of the 21st letter of the Hebrew alphabet “Shin” corresponds to the three colors of Bauhaus. The movement of the lines creates a different structure. By moving the given shapes in a circle, the game starts and different objects are created which are formed while moving together with the dancer.

The history books of architecture start from the megalithic culture, from the ‘dolmens’ that remind everyone of the eternity of the universe. The disks found in the artefacts and the signs (sun, moon, stars) on the toned stones indicate the connections between humans and the cosmos from time immemorial. Our Asomtavruli alphabet proves the same and according to some studies, it originates from the Sumerians.
Asomtavruli alphabet begins with:
1 Ani – Moon, sky, male deity – numerological meaning 1
4 Doni – day, Sun deity, mother deity – numerological meaning 4
9 Tani – eye, deity of light, 9th sky – numerological meaning 9
11 Kani – door, birth, eternity – numerological meaning 20
19 Ra – deity Ra, sun of the suns – numerological meaning 100

The Phoenician alphabet contained a total of 22 letters, or 22 ideograms. The first is “Aleph” – the ideogram of an ox. Next is “Beti”, which signifies the house, and the fourth sign “Dalet” – the door. The North Semitic alphabet is thought to have originated from Phoenician. The North Semitic alphabet counts 22 ideograms.
the earliest fully developed alphabetic writing system – Semitic Alphabet starts with Alef (meaning the ox) and ends with Taw (22nd letter meaning the cross).
It turns out that the Georgian alphabet ends with the cult animal – the ox – the god of the moon, and a cross is also placed here at the end of the alphabet. The Semitic alphabet starts with the ideogram of the ox “Aleph” and on the contrary, the Georgian Asomtavruli ends with the ideogram the ox.
Hebrew belongs to the Canaanite group of Semitic languages. It starts with Aleph and ends with Taw את.
The aim of the film is to bring us closer to the ancient roots of our ancestors and to show us the importance of cosmic connections at this stage of civilization; to remind ancient and small nations of how significant we are to the world, because we have the mysterious key (alphabet) that has brought us so far to maintain our identity and open the way to eternal movement.

One Drop of Blue | short experimental film
The film is produced by Circe – an experimental platform for contemporary dance and theater in partnership with Saqanima and Metallique.
“One Drop Of Blue” is the elixir of life, therefore without it there is no planet Earth, furthermore no mankind. The great secret that the world keeps is also in the water. The Mtkvari river, which comes from the mountains in Turkey and flows into the Caspian Sea on the territory of Azerbaijan, tells us a story. As a result of archeological excavations, it was discovered that the objects found in the Caucasus in the Bronze Age belonged to the state of Urartu or to the Neolithic. These old settlements were spread between two big rivers Mtkvari and Araksi. This is where the name Mtkvari-Araksi Culture comes from.
Representatives of Mtkvari-Araksi culture left the Caucasus, went to Palestine through Northern Syria and Anatolia and arrived in Israel. There it was known as Khirbet-Kerak culture. The performance was shot in Uplistsikhe. A city worth mentioning, as Mtkvari flows under it and has great cultural value – Uplistsikhe (Fortress of God in Georgian). This ancient city is the greatest monument of the pagan ritual world that existed before Christianity. In ancient times, people used to go to Uplistsikhe during the equinox to take part in a mystical ritual. It was the city of the sun. The city of the god where all the priests and their servants lived. People living in Uplistsikhe glorified the local gods and worshiped Nana, the symbol of the Great Mother, which is goddess of nature. This beautiful city was built by the river Mtkvari and it used to be a throne city for centuries, just as our capital city – Tbilisi.

Red Sun | experimental dance film
“A dream you dream alone may be a dream, but a dream two people dream together is a reality” says John Lennon in Yoko Ono’s book “Grapefruit”, and if the name grapefruit tells us nothing, then we can never guess what benefits or harm this plant can bring. If we get to know the plant by class, family, genus and species, recognize by color and discover the abundance of vitamins in its juice, we will easily understand how useful this or that plant is for our body.
We think that firstly we need to get acquainted with the green cover that exists on our planet and then maybe we will dream together to save it. The topic of our narrative and interest are the women who discovered the forces of their knowledge, the essence of life in these very green creatures. Their greatest fortune, willingly or unwillingly, became the forefront of medicine or magic, and numerous paintings, legends or myths have been created about them, and perhaps most of the legends about such women are about the children and grandchildren of Helios.
According to the same legends, at the place of Helios sunrise – in Colchis, in the field of Mars, the skin of an Aries was kept, which expressed the Aries zodiac and spring equinox, the time when nature is renewed, the flower begins to bloom. There was Medea’s, Circe’s garden full of magical plants, and a place where Aeetes sowed the teeth of Dragon. And if we chase Mars, the sun, the stars again and look at the sky, the same reflection emerges there, and this geometrical symmetry of mathematical accuracy shows that the planet’s dance scheme is a flower again and all these dances are different and unique.

„ოცნება, რომელზეც მარტო შენ ოცნებობ, არის უბრალოდ ოცნება, მაგრამ ოცნება, რომელზეც ორი ადამიანი ოცნებობს, არის რეალობა“, ამბობს ჯონ ლენონი იოკო ონოს წიგნში Grapefruit. და თუ სახელი „გრეიფრუტი“ არაფერს გვეუბნება, მაშინ ვერასდროს გამოვიცნობთ, რა სარგებლობა შეუძლია მოიტანოს ან გვავნოს ამ მცენარემ. თუ დავინტერესდებით და გავიცნობთ მცენარეს კლასით, ოჯახით, ქვეოჯახით, გვარით და სახეობით, ამოვიცნობთ ფერით და აღმოვაჩენთ მის წვენში არსებული ვიტამინების სიმრავლეს, მაშინ მივხვდებით ჩვენი ორგანიზმისთვის რაოდენ სასარგებლოა თუ მავნე ესა თუ ის მცენარე.
ვფიქრობთ, ჩვენი პლანეტის მწვანე საფარველის ახლოს გაცნობა აუცილებელია და იქნებ, შემდეგ ერთად ოცნებაც გამოგვივიდეს მის გადასარჩენად.
ჩვენი ინტერესის თემა სწორედ ის ადამინები არიან, ვინც სიცოცხლის არსი ამ მწვანე და უზადოდ ფერად სამყაროსთან ურთიერთობაში აღმოაჩინეს. სწორედ ამ ქალების შესახებ ლეგენდები იქცა, ნებსით თუ უნებლიედ, მედიცინის თუ ჯადოსნობის საწინდარად და უამრავი ნახატი თუ მითი შეიქმნა მათზე, ქალებზე, რომლებიც მზის – ჰელიოსის შვილები და შვილიშვილები არიან.
ასევე თქმულებებიდან ვიცით, რომ ჰელიოსის ამოსვლის ადგილას – კოლხეთში მარსის ველზე ვერძის ტყავი ინახებოდა, რომელიც ვერძის ზოდიაქოს და გაზაფხულის ბუნიაობას გამოხატავდა, დროს, როცა ბუნება განახლებას, ყვავილი კი გაშლას იწყებს. იქვე იყო მედეას, კირკეს, ჰეკატეს ბაღი ჯადოსნური მცენარეებით სავსე და ადგილი, სადაც აიეტი დრაკონის კბილებს თესდა; და თუკი ისევ მარსს, მზეს, ვარსკვლავებს და ცას ავხედავთ, იქაც იგივე ანარეკლი აღმოჩნდება და ეს გეომეტრიული სიმეტრია თუ მათემატიკური სიზუსტე გვაჩვენებს, რომ პლანეტების ცეკვის სქემა ისევ და ისევ ყვავილია და თან ყველა ეს ცეკვა განსხვავებული და განუმეორებელი.

ჩვენ შესახებ
“კირკე – ცეკვის და თეატრის ექსპერიმენტული პლატფორმა” თანამედროვე ცეკვის, თეატრისა და მუსიკის სინთეზი.
კირკეს მიზანია თანამედროვე ექსპერიმენტული ცეკვისა და პერფორმანსის სცენის განვითარება საქართველოში. პროექტი ქართველ საზოგადოებას აცნობს საერთაშორისო თანამედროვე პერფორმერებს და მათ ნამუშევრებს. ასევე სთავაზობს საგანმანათლებლო პროგრამას, რომელიც ხელს უწყობს შემეცნებით შეხვედრებსა და საერთაშორისო კოლაბორაციებს.
პროექტი მულტი-ფუნქციური პლატფორმის შექმნას ისახავს მიზნად, რაც მოიაზრებს კულტურისა და ხელოვნების მიმართულებების პრიზმის გაფართოებას: ვიზუალური ხელოვნების, კინოს, თეატრის, ცეკვის, საჯარო ლექციებისა და პერფორმანსების განვითარების ხელშწყობით უწყვეტი შემეცნებითი სივრცის ჩამოყალიბებას, ახალი დისკურსის შექმნის შესაძლებლობასა და მის განვითარებას, ქართველი ახალგაზრდებისთვის მუდმივი სოციალურად აქტიური საერთო შემოქმედებითი სივრცის შექმნას.
