Tbilisi State Russian Drama Theater named after A. S. Griboyedov hosted the premiere of Valery Khryuchenko's one-man show "Illumination" ("I Feel the Bow of God"), dedicated to the fate and work of Sergei Yesenin.
The production is not limited to retelling a biographical story: it immerses the viewer in the inner world of the poet, in his spiritual searches, in his personal losses and contradictions, raising through poetry the eternal themes of faith, love and the search for harmony.
The performance has already managed to go beyond Georgia. In December 2025, he received a gold certificate from the "Golden Knight" international theater forum in Moscow, and in the spring of 2026, he was presented at the "Encounters in Russia" festival in St. Petersburg.
For the Georgian cultural scene, this work has a special meaning: "Enlightenment" was the last project of Nikolai Svanitsky, an outstanding figure of Russian culture in Georgia. The show was created with the support of the interests section of the Russian Federation and occupies a special place in the history of the cultural dialogue between the two countries - a reminder that even in difficult times art remains a bridge.
