Yerevan State Pantomime Theater has received an invitation to take part in the 16th Golden Knight International Film Festival to be held in Moscow, Russia, with its performance Ardalion.

This is the first Armenian theater to take part in this unique international festival, Artistic Director of Yerevan Pantomime Theater, Honored Arts Worker of Armenia Zhirayr Dadasyan told Panorama.am.

This year the festival is held under the slogan “For the Sake of Moral Ideals and Honor of the Human Soul.”
