The Harriman Institute welcomes the award-winning Washington, DC-based Synetic Theater company to Columbia University’s Miller Theatre on Thursday, March 11, 2010 for a rare New York performance of its acclaimed production Host and Guest, based on the epic poem by 19th-20th century Georgian writer Vazha Pshavela. Host and Guest centers around two Caucasian men, one Muslim and one Christian, who befriend one another in a time of war despite the harsh resistance they face from their own respective communities. The Washington Post recently named Synetic's Host and Guest one of the top five theater productions of the decade.

Proceeds from this event will support Georgian studies programming at the Harriman Institute. A limited number of tickets are available to Columbia students, faculty, staff for $25.

The performance will be followed immediately by a VIP meet-the-artists reception at Terrace in the Sky.

Details and tickets for the performance and reception are available here.
