In the early twentieth century avant-garde thought had the strongest impact on different types of art in Georgia: painting, literature, music and theatre. Tiflis became the center of creative experiment, the "little Paris". Cultural life of the city was full with events: the artistic cafe excitedly poetry tournaments, the Director of Moscow art theater and the Creator of the Free theater in Moscow, Konstantin (Kote) Marjanishvili in Georgia successfully collaborated with young artists, Petra Ozeli and Irakli Gamrekeli.
