Biography / CV
Temo
Rekhviashvili
Temo Rekhviashvili is a Georgian writer, playwright and actor, born in 1993.
He graduated from the Faculty of Drama at Shota Rustaveli Theatre and Film Georgia State University in 2015 and has since worked as an independent actor with several theatres. In 2016, he took part in founding Open Space Of Experimental Art, and in 2019 became one of the co-founders of Theatre Company Haraki, an independent theatre company based in Tbilisi. In 2017, together with Gvantsa Enukidze, he founded the poetry collective Universally Accessible Dramatic Poetry.
Since 2019, he has been a member of Temur Chkheidze’s Studio.
Rekhviashvili works across prose, theatre, poetry, performance and cinema. His writing often begins with ordinary situations - a delivery, a rehearsal, a conversation, a failed relationship, or a room shared by two men - and follows them until they reveal something larger about the society surrounding the characters.
His debut novella, Courier’s Tales, was published by Sulakauri Publishing in 2021 and received the SABA Literary Award for Best Debut in 2022. Narrated by a young actor working as a courier, the book portrays contemporary Tbilisi through daily work, exhaustion, humour and encounters across the city.
His book Two Plays, published by Sulakauri Publishing in 2025, brings together Pathetic Monologues and CO₂. The plays use satire, confession and theatrical absurdity to explore public speech, masculinity, intimacy, alcohol dependency and fantasies of escape.
Courier’s Tales later inspired the film Temo Re, directed by Anka Gujabidze. Rekhviashvili co-wrote the film and played the lead role. It premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, where it received the Tiger Short Award and the KNF Award.
