Miss Gayane

The next program in the series “In the Pavilion: Around Literature and Art” is dedicated to a unique mystery in the history of Armenian theater: a 19th-century theater actress who was famous as Miss Gayane. After gaining great fame, it is rumored that she is actually not a woman, but a man. She played for only one year, appeared on stage in only four roles, and left the theater. The program tries to answer the question: was that brilliant actress actually a woman and the victim of a conspiracy, or was she really a man?
