About
Canout Theatre (Spanish: Teatro Canout) is a theatre located at Petit Thouars Avenue in Miraflores District, Lima, Peru. It was inaugurated on March 24, 1954, as a cinema-theatre, and since then it has been the scene of a wide variety of shows, from film screenings to plays, concerts and cultural events. Once set to be closed and demolished in 2021 due to the economic effects of the then-ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in Peru, two local comedians saved the theatre by first renting and then and purchasing the building.
