The 40-year-old, who has lived in Germany for 20 years, is also a widely performed playwright. Her piece “Phädra, in Flames”, which premiered in June as a collaboration between the Berliner Ensemble and the Ruhrfestspiele Recklinghausen, premiered on Saturday at Vienna’s Burgtheater. In the interview, Haratischwili talks about the 15th anniversary of the Russian war against Georgia – and about the Russian attack on Ukraine.
