Vahan Badalyan established “Small Theatre” in Yerevan thirty years ago after his actors refused to perform outdoors during winter, initially using a basement space. Today, this theatre is noted as one of the few cultural venues in Armenia capable of addressing difficult subjects such as disability and fear within Armenian art. The text details Badalyan’s early efforts, leading to the formation of “Oasis,” and his subsequent invitation to join the Window Theatre, which he renamed Small Theatre. This institution has grown into a multifaceted entity encompassing a repertoire company, a training studio for young directors, an inclusive dance company involving performers with and without disabilities, and an art studio.
