Nadia Tsulukidze was born in Georgia. After finishing Music College, she lived and studied dance in Germany. Coming back to Georgia in 2004 as a freelance artist, she collaborated with visual artists and co-founded a multimedia performance group 'Khinkali Juice'. In 2010, she finished Master of Theater Studies at DasArts in Amsterdam with the documentary theatre piece Ready for Love or Seven Fragments of Identity. In 2013, she created another documentary performance Me and Stalin in collaboration with the Kaaitheater Brussels, Frascati Amsterdam, BIT Theatergarasijen, and Schlachthaus Theater Bern. Nadia explores the body as the result of constant negotiation between social construction and personal choice. She defines this process as performative, as it employs performing the self in relation to the ‘other’. She sees ‘the self’ as a narration, constructed of personal memories. ‘The self’ is the author and the object of the narration at the same time. Nadia’s work is framed by this perspective and directed towards the exploration of her own ‘self’ in a specific framework.
