Charity pre-premiere of Eternia show ahead of Tashir Arena grand opening

On October 21 in Yerevan, a charity pre-premiere of the theatrical-circus show Eternia took place ahead of the grand opening of Tashir Arena. The first audience included those most in need of warmth and care: large families, displaced families from Artsakh, veterans, people with disabilities, and beneficiaries of charitable foundations. For them, the evening became a true celebration—filled with light, music, and faith in kindness.

Tashir Arena’s General Director, Hrachya Arshakyan, noted: “We will impress with a combination of top-tier performers and cutting-edge technology.”

According to the arena’s Executive Producer, Vyacheslav Koltsov, Tashir Arena stands out from similar venues thanks to its modern equipment, sound and lighting quality, and spaciousness: “Even the backstage area here is unique. It’s a special complex that can comfortably accommodate at least 200 people. It’s fully equipped for productions of any scale.”

Director and creator of Eternia, Pavel Brun, shared: “For me, this is a great responsibility—almost a mission—because I deeply love Yerevan and Armenia as a whole. I knew I couldn’t afford to make a mistake. Armenian audiences have high expectations—a whole generation grew up without a circus. We’re receiving unprecedented support from the Tashir Group to bring this project to life. We must exceed all expectations.”

Eternia is a one-of-a-kind theatrical-circus performance created specifically for the Tashir Arena stage. It tells the story of the eternal battle between light and darkness, and explores themes of faith, hope, love, and the boundless strength of the human spirit capable of overcoming any challenge. It is a journey beyond reality. Rehearsals lasted nearly two years, and more than 100 performers from various countries took part in the production. Around 2,000 spectators from different Armenian communities attended the charity show.
