Abstract
A teleparallel geometrical description of the nematic phases of liquid crystals is proposed.In the case of the twisted geometry of nematics Cartan torsion is given by a spatial helical form which depends on the twist angle. Geodesics of a test particle around the teleparallel liquid crystal are given.
