Limassol

Following an inaugural performance by the Limassol Philharmonic Orchestra, this celebration brings together Cypriot traditional musicians Michalis Terlikkas, Kemal Deveci, and Aziz Kahraman, along with Stelios Petrakis from Crete. Concluding, Krista Papista will perform her new show, compiled of fragments from her upcoming unreleased album, Euro Divas — an explosion of ritual, Tsifteteli, DIY drum & bass and punk bitch EDM. Papista will be joined on stage by Kanella Petropoulou, Jan Verwoert, and Christos Kyriakides; set design by Christos Kyriakides; garments by Soraya Oronti, Charlotte Gindreau, and Sara Gellez. The night concludes with the vibrant beats of Koulla P. Katsikoronou and dj harama.

An interactive exhibition inviting visitors into the personal art collection of seminal Cypriot author Ivi Meleagrou (1928–2019). Featuring works by key Cypriot artists, alongside prints, reproductions, and embroideries, the collection reflects the author’s deep affinities with her contemporaries and her singular approach to collecting. The exhibition is shaped by an experimental dramaturgy and unfolds through a dynamic process: visitors choose items from a catalogued list to be retrieved, displayed, and taken back into storage, generating an exhibition in constant flux. 

Greek singer Savina Yannatou, an extraordinary explorer of the world's vocal traditions, and her loyal Primavera en Salonico ensemble, accompanied by Lamia Bedioui, take us into a transcendent universe with their moving interpretations of songs rooted in the sea. The evening begins with Cypriot musician and sound artist Spivak, accompanied by Zenonas Economides on guitar, transporting us into the world of her avant-garde compositions.

A multimedia exhibition built around a virtual reality reconstruction of the private room of Cypriot author Ivi Meleagrou. The VR model is conceived as a time-based experience accompanied by archival video, audio, and printed material, which invites audiences into an immersive and contemplative encounter with the author’s life and work, particularly her seminal novel, Eastern Mediterranean (1969).
