On 7 December 2026, at 21:00, the Teatro Francesco Cilea in Reggio Calabria hosts «Fire of Georgia», a performance by the Royal National Ballet of Georgia directed by Gela Potskhishvili and Maia Kiknadze. It is one of the few international dates on the Reggio autumn bill.
A journey into Georgian culture
The performance takes the audience on a journey into Georgian culture, the ancient land of Colchis tied to the myth of Medea and Jason. On stage, dance, music and traditional costume compose an intense staged narrative, in which every movement carries the strength, the elegance and the memory of Georgia's different regions.
Two bodily languages in balance
The show alternates combat dances, male virtuosity, acrobatic leaps and technical passages of great precision with light, refined female movement. The athletic power of the male dancers and the grace of the women create a striking balance between energy, tradition and theatricality: it is the recognisable signature of the traditional Georgian repertoire.
An ancient culture still alive
«Fire of Georgia» celebrates a culture thousands of years old through a language that remains alive and contemporary: some dances have roots in very distant eras, yet retain an expressive force capable of speaking to today's audiences. That is why this repertoire tours international theatres and not only folkloric settings.

The Teatro Francesco Cilea is at Corso Giuseppe Garibaldi 325, in the centre of Reggio Calabria. Prices and tickets are announced by the theatre. For those in town, restaurants in Reggio Calabria are a short walk from the main street.
