Brandy Sour: Bilingual Theatre Production in Nicosia

Brandy Sour is a landmark bilingual theatre production in Nicosia, Cyprus, staged by Theatro AntiLogos — the theatrical adaptation of Constantia Soteriou's award-winning novel of the same name, directed by Neoklis Neocleous. The show premieres on 9 October 2026 at the garden of the Goethe-Institut Cyprus, located within the UN Buffer Zone next to the legendary Ledra Palace Hotel, before touring across the island through 1 November 2026.

At the heart of the production lies the Ledra Palace itself — once one of Nicosia's most glamorous hotels, today abandoned within the Green Line, yet forever etched in Cypriot memory. Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot actors share the stage in a bilingual performance — in both Greek and Turkish, including their respective dialects — with supertitles in both languages. Through shared storytelling, the production explores identity, history, and the complex mosaic of Cypriot reality.

The production runs approximately 70 minutes and is suitable for all ages.
