"Tbilisi 6. Never On Sunday" takes place in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, between December 1st and 7. The show opens each day in different places and includes lectures, performances, concerts, sculptures, publications, presentations, and so on. There is the plan to go to the Caucasian mountains, to Gudauri and Bakhani (weather permitting). Another project takes place in Varketili, in the suburbs of Tbilisi. Most of the activities will be documented on tbilisi6.com, but you better come and see yourself. Ukrainian Airways and Turkish Airways offer affordable flights.
