Vahram Zaryan is a French performance artist, mime, dancer, director, and choreographer. He is of Armenian origin.

Vahram Zaryan studied theatre, body movement, and dance at the National Conservatory of Dramatic Art in Armenia. There he specialized in mime, beginning his apprenticeship at the State Theater of Pantomime in Yerevan under the direction of Zhirayr Dadasyan. He later moved to the Paris Opera, where he studied classical dance with Yves Casati, and Decroux technique with Yvan Bacciocchi at the studio of Belleville. Zaryan perfected his art form at the École Internationale de Mimodrame de Marcel Marceau, being one of the last students to receive a degree from this school. Zaryan has also interned and taken graduate courses with Ariane Mnouchkine, Carolyn Carlson, and Maurice Béjart.

He created a company of mimes called “Le théâtre suspendu” with other Marcel Marceau graduates. This company performed signature pieces such as Sépia Quartet, and Le linge entre autres, both in France and abroad. At the time of the creation of the company, Zaryan interpreted the role of the white mime, among others, at a gala at the Palais Garnier in honor of director Sergei Parajanov in a theatrical rendition of this master of Soviet cinema’s great film The Color of Pomegranates. Zaryan also interpreted, to much critical success, the role of Vespone in the Pergolesi opera La serva padrona at the Theater of the Tambour Royal in Paris. Vahram Zaryan has performed many roles in various companies around the world (Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Iran, Egypt, Russia, Armenia...), as well as acting in film and television productions.
