Theater

In 1963, Oscar Palomino Soria, together with his wife, Sofía Andrade García, both born in Cusco, built and founded Garcilaso Movie Theater.

Since then, Garcilaso Movie Theater became the center point for the people in Cusco and was considered one of the most prestigious and modern movie theaters therein.

In 1997, 35 years later, Cusco’s movie industry went through hard times due to new technologies, such as the CD and DVD, and Garcilaso Movie Theater closed its doors to the public. In 2007, Garcilaso Movie Theater, fully remodeled and with state-of-the-art technology, reopened with the name Teatro kusikay.

The performances presented today at the theater are considered to be some of the best activities in Cusco, and a perfect way to enjoy Cusco’s nightlife. KUSIKAY appears in every guide featuring information about Cusco. If you are looking for something to do in Cusco, Peru, we offer you a magical night at Kusikay.
