It seems as if the noisy procession of the Berikaoba Folk Theater froze for a moment, turning into stone to stay with the city forever. These ghostly, elongated figures in masks are not just a sculpture. This is the spirit of old Georgia, its gaiety and rebellion, cast in bronze. Berikaoba is when the mask hides not the face, but the whole soul of the people... cheerful, hospitable. Every time I pass by, I want to get up with them and spin them around, forgetting about my worries for a moment.

🇬🇪 👥 So, I didn't get it.: Are we going to take pictures of every sculpture and monument now? Well, no, it's a one-time event - I liked this funny group. Dancing cheerfully) Online reference: The Berikaoba sculpture Group in Tbilisi is a very lively and emotional bronze composition depicting an ancient Georgian folk festival -masquerade. Berikaoba is a pre—Christian pagan celebration of fertility, rebirth and the end of winter, which later developed into an improvisational street mask theater. There is one empty seat in the dance floor. The empty space was specially left by the author so that anyone could stand in a circle and take a souvenir photo surrounded by "dancing Georgians."
