Synetic Theater

Synetic Theater is a physical theater company in Crystal City that uses movement, dance, acrobatics, and pantomime instead of spoken language. The performances combine these artistic forms into a visual storytelling experience.

The theater was founded in 2001 by Paata and Irina Tsikurishvili, building on their work with the Stanislavsky Theater Studio. Their first production, an adaptation of Hamlet, brought early recognition to the company.

The performances tell classical stories through movement and visual art rather than dialogue. You experience a blend of dance, acrobatics, and pantomime that works without spoken words.

The venue is located in Crystal Plaza Arcade with regular performances throughout the year. Online ticket purchase is available and it helps to check the website for current schedules and show information.

The name derives from synthesis and kinetic, reflecting the philosophy of merging different artistic disciplines into one form. This approach makes each show accessible to audiences regardless of their language.
