Gladiator II
Although the Duduk is not featured in this new installment, its impact on the universe of the saga remains indelible. Used in the first Gladiator to enhance moments of mystery, glory, and freedom, the Duduk marked a key milestone in its integration into Hollywood cinema. That era was pivotal for the global emergence of this ancient Armenian instrument, thanks in particular to the unforgettable performances of Djivan Gasparyan. His contributions opened the doors to wide international recognition of the Duduk and greatly supported its spread across the world.
