Yerevan State Pantomime Theatre

Yerevan State Pantomime Theatre was established in 1969. And in May 1974, in the presence of famous cultural figures of the Art Council of the Ministry of Culture of Armenia, the theater troupe performed its first performance, being recognized as a professional collective. The theater operated in the house of Armenian artists. Already in 1983 it received state status. The theater has made a valuable contribution to the art of pantomime theater. It organized the Nazenik International Pantomime Festival, the first international theatrical festival in independent Armenia.

In 2008, the theater organized an international festival of pantomime theaters in Tsakhkadzor, which has since become continuous and is held every two years.
