Biography

Après ses études à Ozourguéti (Gourie), il entre en 1900 au Théâtre V. Aleksi-Meskhichvili de Koutaïssi et rejoint une année après le Théâtre de Tiflis (1901-1905). Il part ensuite à Moscou étudier le théâtre, notamment la mise en scène avec Constantin Stanislavski.

En 1910, il revient en Géorgie et prend la direction du Théâtre de Tchiatoura. De 1914 à 1916, il dirige le Théâtre du Peuple de Tiflis, et devient l’un des fondateurs du cinéma géorgien.

En 1918, encouragé par le gouvernement de la République démocratique de Géorgie, il tourne le premier long métrage géorgien, Christine. Il est ensuite nommé réalisateur à l’Opéra et au Théâtre de danse, poste qu’il occupera jusqu’en 1947.

De 1925 à 1928, sous l’ère soviétique, il tourne quatre films.

À sa mort, il est inhumé au Panthéon du Didube. Le Théâtre d’Ozourguét porte son nom.
