Limassol

“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.

A guided sound walk with narratives from Limassol’s Mahalla and social life before 1974. This work was created by MITOS within the framework of the Interwoven Narratives Hub, a collaboration with the Famagusta New Museum and the Famagusta Walled City Association (MASDER), supported by the VAHA program.

How can shapes and symbols found on representations of ancient goddesses help us create a new creature-protector of the Mediterranean? In this art workshop, children and adults use ancient traces as well as new elements in order to collaboratively create the image of an imaginary creature that could help protect the Mediterranean against its present-day challenges.

A guided walk by Sevina Floridou through Limassol’s historic Fytidou orchard will introduce visitors to this long-abandoned garden of over 50 palms, now being reopened to the public. During the event, traditional Cypriot treats will be offered by Terract-Salamiou, while the space will be musically enriched with improvisations on the Ney by Panayiotis Tsappis and soundscapes curated by Elena Savvidou.
