This experimental showcase at ΚΤΗΡΙΟΝ 5 in Nicosia, Cyprus runs across three evenings — Friday to Sunday, April 3–5, 2026 — with performances starting at 20:00. A pre-event gathering opens the venue from 18:00 each night, with alcoholic beverages served on site. The showcase presents two original works by emerging Cypriot artists.
The evening features two works:
ORIZОНTAS (ΟΡΊΖΟΝΤΑΣ) Concept and performance: Stavros X. Petrou
A new performance art piece tracing a creative arc between Nicosia and Milan and back again. The work continues an artistic investigation into the most ordinary yet strange materials of everyday life. The title plays on the Greek word for "horizon" as an active present participle — something constantly being defined, always in the act of forming.
ILIACHTIDES (ΗΛΙΑΧΤΊΔΕΣ) Written and directed by: Eleni Aristeidou Performed by: Stavria Charalambous, Elia-Zoe Christou
A one-act play about the chaos of life after graduation — the fear of never finding the path you were so certain of at 22, and the search for sunlight through the clouds.
⚠️ Content warning: The text contains references to suicidal thoughts.
