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. 

“Do you remember the sound of our click?” - D.G.
The performance Other Reflexes is an adaptation of Diana Georgiou’s novel of the same title that explores queer female experience during the ’90s in Limassol. Georgiou focuses on the violences (domestic, class, racial, gender, systemic) that our senses, and selves, can undergo growing up in such a context, but also on the inventive ways in which people can often cope with them.

Taking as a starting point the tradition of open-air cinemas, which once formed an integral part of the cultural life of Limassol but have now completely disappeared, The Island Club, in collaboration with the Limassol Cinema Club, presents Cinemare. Transforming one of the Piers of Molos into an open-air cinema, Cinemare will host a film programme revolving around the themes of the sea and the possibility of travel.
