Our theatre began in 2009 as the Yaazh Art Centre, founded by a group of Puducherry-based dramatists and painters who shared a simple conviction: that traditional art forms and contemporary practice need not stand apart. In 2021, Yaazh became a dedicated theatre and research organisation, with its own training space and a growing library. What began as a shared vision among artists has since evolved into an institution built to last. As Yaazh marks its fifth year as a registered foundation, it continues to grow, exploring and creating new spaces for theatre..
Our commitment to the arts has been recognized on national and international stages.
