Balayan worked as an actor in the theater of Stepanakert (located in the Nagorno-Karabakh region) in 1959–1961. He studied directing at the Yerevan State Institute of Theatre and Cinematography and film directing at the Kyiv National I. K.

His film Flights in Dreams and Reality (1982), a drama about depression and a midlife crisis, is one of his most well-known works.
