The Satyricon Theatre, also known as Russian state theater "Satyricon" named after Arkady Raikin, is a Moscow theatre directed by actor Konstantin Raikin, son of Arkady Isaakovich.[1]
Satyricon was initially founded as the Leningrad Variety and Miniature Theatre in 1939. In 1982, the theatre moved to Moscow, and from 1987 it was renamed as "Satyricon".[2] It has a large and small stage.
In 2013, the Center for Culture, Art and Leisure named after Arkady Raikin opened near the theatre, consisting of Raikin Plaza, a shopping and entertainment complex, and the Higher School of Performing Arts. In August 2015 the theatre building closed for a large-scale reconstruction, with large stage performances continuing in the "Planet of KVN", at 2 Sheremetyevskaya street, and the plays for the small stage in the Training Theatre of the Higher School of Performing Arts at 6/2 Sheremetevskaya Street. The facility was planned to be commissioned in 2019.[3]
