Host Theater is a theater project created by the Russian Lost project team in the fall of 2022. It is based on the concept of combining the world’s best five-star hotels and theatrical performances. The setting for each performance is created taking into account the cultural context, interior features and events that took place within the walls of a particular hotel during its existence. Performances in the form of an immersive theater do not require a classic seating arrangement.
The company operates in Dubai, has also launched a franchise in Bali and plans to launch in Armenia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Turkey. At first, investments in the project amounted to 5 million rubles from the own funds of the founder and CEO of the Lost and Host Theater projects Yulia Maksimovich. In less than six months, the project broke even and began to turn a profit.
Host Theater’s board of directors includes Viktor Khristenko, co-founder and CEO of ZvukBusiness, Alexander Sysoev, business angel and creator of the Russian Restaurant Festival, and Konstantin Goryainov, CEO of Safmar hotel holding.
