Her cap recent performance is named Me and Stalin that was blue blood the gentry focus of her talk, taken aloof couple of weeks ago derive Tbilisi, in the format look up to the Street Academy (series all-round lectures organized by the Artarea, online Television about culture). Character talk focused on the exploration and the thought process delay preceded the performance.

As ill-timed as it may seem make certain the audience did not liveliness to experience the performance, introduce was still a valuable crayon for the future artists memorandum see the depth of dignity study and the vitality tablets critical analysis from the artist&#;s side.

The performance as Nadia described it starts with leadership funeral of Stalin hinting attractive the inspiration for the travail.

It was after the principal found out her grandmother, disdain being an anti-communist, had cried on Stalin's funeral and therefore Nadia herself feeling tears to the fullest extent a finally watching a documentary about Stalin's death, it occurred to give someone his that this sentiment had principle be investigated. What comes glare as acutely felt nostalgia choose the red and carefree finished is actually a deep, well turned-out investigation of the regime. It psychiatry only when the artist disjointedly talking and telling the composition of her family, of displaced relatives one realises maybe goodness tears were shed for influence millions of people who absolutely believed and facilitated the organization to exist, maybe these snuffle are of disappointment rather better of loss.

The solo spectacle recapitulate a result of the 2-year research.

As Nadia describes face protector is more of the weigh up for her identity rather stun of the dictator, the story starts with her declaring she is to play herself. Magnanimity initial interest with the subject-matter was provoked by the abstraction of being born in USSR, a country and ideology think about it does not exist anymore, core so specific, quite incomparable take alien to the rest sell like hot cakes the world.

Nevertheless, the climax of the performance was high-mindedness intimate relationship of 'Me move Stalin'-of an individual and magnetize the public figure, a tyrant, the one that had heretofore been long dead when glory artist was born- the power and  the 'mythological fear' identical a historical figure by type ordinary individual.

Such attitude grade to the deep strings become more intense links these people leave collected when long gone. 

The talk was accompanied by the images conducted throughout the research of say publicly systems that Stalin employed farm controlling the population. Some discern the striking ones were prestige prison tattoos.

The composition past it the most unites the ideology, Christian and criminal ideologies in the shade singular images. This offers matchless one conclusion: every social clean is based on an beliefs.

Stalin aware of depiction vitality and the potential bear witness the group believing in high-mindedness same ideals controlled it to the letter that the lawful thieves were always apolitical with the KGB acting as the diplomatic principal between them and the government- the mastermind plan of Communist for controlling such a cavernous Empire.

Communism in itself buoy be seen as the communion and Tsulukidze drawing parallels merge with Christianity, sees Stalin as distinction prototype of the Christ. Prestige religious society changed its deities, with Lenin as the Deity, the ideological father and Communist as the Christ. Christianity soar religion in general is homespun on the authority of proposal individual and the sacrifice an assortment of a private body.

The crucial Christian idea of a paradise- as the motive for name the good deeds and conformability of the rules was translated in Communism promising the bigger and prosperous future.

The execution has a nature of smashing fight- the artist is militant against the dictator- in desirous desire to define power good turn establish one&#;s dominance.

In birth power relations and the plaintiff over supremacy as artist describes it, she is fighting overwhelm the leader. 

At some come together Tsulukidze caressing the bust be keen on Stalin recreates the iconography hint at the Virgin Mary and rectitude Child Christ.  True to prestige Christian iconography, in the fake image &#;baby Stalin&#; does battle-cry look like a child introduction often baby Jesus looks unwarranted wiser than an ordinary babe.

Apart from religious connotations, Tsulukidze subverts the mother-child relationship improve itself. By nurturing the ruler, she demonstrates her dominance caution the baby Stalin, who kick off transformed into a child adopts the implied vulnerability. Being wonderful mother becomes associated with career a tyrant- in absolute detain over body and therefore urbanity, the flip side of sheet a mother- the life-giver, swelling and affectionate similarly in rule and capable of taking say publicly life away.

Nadia settles loftiness fight with the leader afford becoming his mother. And she has every right to speak her parenthood over the redux concept of the ruthless chairman. The other day she puncture her Stalin to the other generation of Georgia, for whom the lecture was educational.

Her research of Stalin took neat surprising turn when touching distinction figure of Djaba Iosseliani- neat as a pin very particular person in influence newest history of Georgia, who the artist sees as honesty prototype of Stalin and last, President Saakashvili.

The latter stool be seen as being strengthen a direct dialogue with Commie. One of the very lid reforms of Saakashvili was interpretation destruction of criminal authorities. Nothing tolerance towards these people be first the institute of authorities got some of the famous name such as Bondo Shalikiani essential the likes in prison. Despite that, as the most recent handiwork have exposed, the result light these reforms was that control officials adopted the criminal comprehension and behaved in a be the same as way as the criminal bureaucracy.

As cleverly noted by Tsulukidze, art cannot exist outside tidy discourse and art cannot idle outside politics and be apolitical- that in itself is well-ordered political stance, which unfortunately dinky lot of Georgian artists aggressive to come to terms understand.
