The 1968 production of Khanuma at the Rustaveli State Academic Theatre, directed by Robert Sturua, is a celebrated collaboration featuring composer Giya Kancheli and actor Ramaz Chkhikvadze , who played the role of Akopha. This production redefined the 1882 Georgian vaudeville, blending comedic elements with Kancheli's extensive original music, including popular "city songs" (Kalakuri).
