Theater of Armenia
The Armenian Theater dates to before Roman times and is one of the oldest Eurasian theatrical traditions.[1] Alongside Greek and Roman theatres, it stands as one of the world's most ancient theatres.[2][1] The ancient and beloved form of theatrical art is lyrical (profound) drama, which exerted its influence on the folklore of the Near East, Balkan, and Apennine peoples. Within this cultural context, Armenian folk and mystical drama, characterized by its dance elements, also took shape. Although the ancient theatre system hasn't been preserved, it has left its linguistic marks.
