The Forum Theater held performances in the central parks of Kutaisi. There were six scenes on different topics, followed by interesting discussions from the people.

They talked about the fact that the facts of femicide, family conflicts, tragic cases have become more frequent and society should more clearly express its position against domestic violence.
