A one-act tragicomedy “God of Carnage” is a widely acclaimed play written by Yasmina Reza, transformed by the Georgian director Giorgi Shalutashvili into the Georgian reality. Two families, two couples are introduced through the conflict between their sons. The 11-year-old schoolchildren quarrelled and now it is up to their parents to solve the disagreement. “I believe in the God of carnage, god of carnage has always ruled the world” – says one of the protagonists. It has the justification – the children’s quarrel will turn into a tense and neurotic conflict between their “civilized” parents. How? Why? For what reason? Maybe because the god of carnage is indeed the eternal problem of humanity?
