Hovhannes Tumanyan Puppet Theatre of Yerevan, Puppet theatre in Yerevan, Armenia
The National Puppet Theatre building stands on Sayat-Nova Avenue, featuring traditional Armenian architectural elements and dedicated performance spaces for puppet shows.
Founded in 1935 with Sofia Bejanyan and Gevorg Arakelyan among its founders, the theatre received its current name in 1938 to honor writer Hovhannes Tumanyan.
The theatre integrates traditional Armenian storytelling techniques with modern puppet artistry, presenting both classical tales and contemporary productions throughout the year.
Located at Sayat-Nova Avenue 4, the theatre offers regular performances and contains the Pavlos Boroyan Puppet Museum within its premises.
Between 1950 and 1957, the theatre experienced a complete closure before reopening under director Yervand Manaryan, marking a new chapter in its development.
