At the Voices Berlin Festival 2025, the texts speak in their strongest voice: through the authors themselves. These authors come from different generations, work within diverse theatrical traditions, and write across a range of genres — yet all are key figures in contemporary theatre.
A Georgian-born, Berlin-based writer, whose works are widely staged in the German-speaking world, will read a fragment from her recent novel "Lack of Light" — the story of four remarkable women bound by absolute friendship during their adolescence in post-Soviet Tbilisi, fighting for their right to a future and their right to love. "Lack of Light" is the story of a lost land and a lost generation; of a revolution that devours its children; of a friendship that defies death; of phantom pain, a battle with oneself and the world, a struggle with fate. It is also a homage to Georgia, to the city of Tbilisi, and to its people: a declaration of love across the ages.
