This is probably the one and only theater that I would recommend in Tashkent to those who really appreciate theatrical art. Known for their avant garde plays and the constant need to bend social norms, the Ilkhom troop are truly outstanding. Most of the plays have subtitles so they can be enjoyed even by those who don’t speak Russian! Definitely a must visit if you’re in Tashkent and are feeling artsy!

I took my daughter to a master class. I haven't been to the play. I am very impressed with the surroundings of the theater itself. The original and very beautiful design of the hall. I just wanted to go to the play. And I will definitely go soon. About classes. I liked the teachers and their interaction with the children. It's a little hard, probably, for children to have 3 hours of classes, but they are fascinated.

It's an interesting theater, I've been to Tashkent many times, but I came here for the first time and made a discovery for myself. I watched the play Free Auction dedicated to Parajanov. I liked the acting, the production is interesting.

I liked the theater. Small, intimate. The lobby, the hall-as if "for their own". Yes, judging by the large companies sitting at the buffet tables, this is true. The theater has its own regular audience.. super! The play "Lubka" made an ambiguous impression. Well played. The actors played 100%. You should definitely visit the theater. The performance is controversial, but the impressions are definitely positive!

Ilkhom Theater is the heart of creative Tashkent! I've been here several times, and each performance has left a deep mark. It's not just a theater, it's a place where you really feel the art. The performances are bold, sincere, touching to the core. The actors' acting is at the highest level, everything is real, with emotion, with soul. I especially like that there is no familiar stage here — it seems to merge with the auditorium. This creates a special bond between the artists and the audience. You're not just watching a play, you're inside what's happening, literally in the same breath as the actors. The interior is modest, but that's the whole magic — nothing superfluous, just art and atmosphere. Here you want to think, feel, come back again and again.

My favorite theater!!! When I come to Tashkent, I try to visit it first! I love the atmosphere, the high level of skill of the actors and the unusual interpretations of familiar works. The prices are more than pleasant - for the efforts that each employee has invested in this theater, even low. I advise everyone to visit this place at least once. Thank you for your hard work.

Special thanks to the team for the memory of the founder of the theater ... look for emotions, but something special and unusual is here for you ... a Russian-language theater, repertoire, productions, actors ... a hall ... a mini gallery in the theater lobby ... in a word, I recommend it! Top theater in Tashkent for people who reflect!

Ilkhom - always emotions! Ambiguous! From admiration to confusion! Productions without unnecessary entourage - the actors play in such a way that it is not necessary. Full immersion in the atmosphere and a sense of audience participation I'm looking forward to the opening of the 50th anniversary season.

We visited this theater on the recommendation of relatives, were at the play "Happy Beggars", and generally liked the performance. I liked the peculiar humor, and a little game with the audience, who periodically picked up something. In short, it was fun.

Great art theater! I liked everything, starting with the poster at the entrance, the foyer, the paintings and decoration of the hall, the actors and the proximity of the stage. Amazing and unforgettable two performances with deep meaning that we managed to attend! I'm still impressed. I recommend everyone not to miss this unique theater. Bravo to the actors and the director!

A chic, powerful, modern theater without mothballs. Beautiful and spacious building. I was at the play "Tomorrow": the drama may not be the most outstanding, but it was staged with youthful enthusiasm. The dynamics, light, and sound were very pleasing. A pleasant aftertaste, the audience with bright faces. There's even a plywood ballet in Tashkent, and this is a very special place.

A cozy courtyard, always interesting exhibitions inside the theater lobby. While waiting for the performance to begin, you can always walk around and get acquainted with various paintings. The food and drinks in the inner cafe are delicious. There is even a delicious wine🍷

The Ilkhom Theater in Tashkent is a legendary point on the cultural map not only of Uzbekistan, but also of the entire Central Asia! Founded in 1976 by director Mark Weil, it has become a symbol of creative freedom and experimentation. Here, stereotypes are boldly broken, combining traditions and the avant—garde, and each production is a challenge to the usual perception of the theater. Why is it worth a visit? A unique repertoire: From modern drama to reinterpreted classics — performances make you think, laugh, cry. Famous works: "The Imperial Executioner", "The Seagull. Forever", "Don Juan". Experiment and improvisation: Ilkhom is famous for its author's approach — there are no rigid frameworks here, and the actors often interact with the audience. Atmosphere: A chamber-like space with an almost homely energy. The hall is small, so every spectator feels like a part of the action. International recognition: The theater tours the world, participates in festivals, and critics call its productions "a breath of fresh air." Practical: - Language: Most of the performances are in Russian, sometimes with elements of Uzbek. - Prices: Tickets are available (from about 50,000 soums / ~$4). - Where: Pahlavon Mahmud Street, Tashkent city center. - Tip: Book your seats in advance — the theater is popular with locals and tourists. If you appreciate non—standard art, you are ready for a dialogue with actors and directors - Ilkh is a must! This is not just a theater, but a living organism where magic is born. After the performance, you can discuss your impressions in the cozy cafe at the theater — the perfect ending to the evening. 👌 #Cultural Bridge #IlkhomLegenda #Tashkent Waiting

Well, what can I tell you? This is a magical place where you immerse yourself in a world of fantasies and emotions, joy and laughter, deep meaning and love.. everyone comes out after Ilkhom with their own vision of the world, which is divided into before and after! It's not for nothing that Ilkhom is inspiration (Uzbek). This name suits the theater very well.

Probably, this theater was once a discovery. Today, in an attempt to come up with something new, they forgot about the content. It is impossible to build new interesting things by denying and humiliating the past. The performance of 20 days without war is terrible. With this kind of material, they could ruin everything. Although some of the actors played well in some scenes, the overall impression was terrible. A terrible disrespect for films that have become classics, for films that were shot by veterans. It's terrible!

In March of this year, it was accidentally difficult to buy tickets to a play based on the 18th century play by Count C. Gozzi about a Ruler who pretended to be a tramp and wanted to know what his subjects were saying about him. The director turned a satirical fairy tale into a farce, which someone accepted with delight, and someone did not understand and left during the break. The acting was certainly talented. The acoustics of the basement hall are so-so, and the performance goes on without microphones - not everything is audible.

I was very pleasantly surprised! They were given a "Tin drum". It's not an easy thing. It was as if she had plunged into the old days of Viktyuk, only thinner and more energetic. I'll definitely go again if I'm in Tashkent. I recommend.

Once again, I went to the play, the topics that are touched upon are very relevant and democratic, they touch my soul, even tears come to my eyes, but the young actors had the feeling that there was no understanding of what they were playing, there was no deep understanding and sincerity, unfortunately it was obvious, there is room for growth. However, there are no questions about the plot, text and direction. Bravo, bravo, and bravo again, I'll take another look.

We went to the "Nutcracker" with the children. The performance is for an amateur, it is interactive, involving the viewer, but due to the fact that there is only one actor, it is not very interesting, sometimes boring and monotonous. I will not recommend this performance. Although, the tastes are different. Someone's children may "come in".

The best theater in the world, I love it very much. They have been holding the brand for 30 years, despite fires, the death of the founder and financial difficulties. Be sure to visit the Tortilla Flat and Happy Beggars Quarter, productions have been going on for a quarter of a century without losing their relevance.

Visiting this institution as a separate kind of pleasure and masochism. The productions are brilliant, not always clear (to me), but in the process of understanding they are incredible. The repertoire, despite the age of some works, is very relevant. After the fire, the atmosphere is a little gloomy, of course, but it's still cozy.

The legendary Tashkent Theater. Great productions. one of the first professional non-state theaters in the history of the former Soviet Union. It was founded in 1976 by director Mark Weil and a group of graduates of the Tashkent Theater and Art Institute. I recommend it! Only for adults. The number of seats is limited. Cozy and homey. Excellent artists and productions.

A stunningly culturally filled place! There is an art gallery in the hall, which makes waiting for the performance an even more pleasant event. A cafe where you can drink coffee with dessert, the staff is very pleasant, they speak English and Russian. Well, the corridor to the auditorium is generally like a separate art object! We were at the play "Black Black White Stork". This is a delight, although we are a spoiled spectator)))). If we are going to Tashkent again, we will definitely visit this cultural mecca!

It's great that there's at least one theater in the city that puts on modern productions, I've been there 3 times already and I liked it. The only disadvantage is that they don't let you into the so-called "underground" passage in front of the hall. After all, you really want to take characteristic photos, and the lobby is extremely boring for this.

I'm thrilled. We've been to Tartuffe, and it's definitely worth a visit. Three hours just fly by. The father (Bernard Nazarmukhamedov) played just great. The audience applauded standing. If you want to ask a girl out on a date, this is one of the best options.

In mid-October 2024, we were with my wife at the play "The Heart of a Dog". Not only did the performance start almost an hour late, but the production turned out to be so primitive and boring, sometimes awkward, that after 15 minutes I wanted to get up and leave. But upbringing did not allow this to be done. A complete disappointment. This is my second time in this theater. The last time was in the year 2008 under the former director. And it was an extravaganza! And now Ilkhom reminded me of a student theater with a half-educated director. I am very disappointed!

This theater has been around for many years, but it still remains the warmest, most soulful, and amazing for me!

An interesting creative theater, located in the city center, a 10-minute walk from the metro. There is a place for public parking. There is a buffet. Exhibitions of paintings or cultural evenings are held periodically in the lobby. Entrance tickets range from $ 8 to $16, which is several times higher than average prices. There are discounts for certain categories.
