The Vaso Abashidze State New Theater in Tbilisi has cancelled performances for 2, 3, 4, and 5 January, because of the imprisonment of actor Andro Chichinadze.

‘We cannot return to the stage without Andro. You can return your tickets on the website tkt.ge’, the theater wrote in a post on Facebook.

A court remanded Chichinadze into pre-trail arrest on 7 December on charges of participating in group violence. He faces up to six years in prison if convicted.
