Richard II - William Shakespeare 

 

Theatro Dentro and YPOGAIA Cultural Organisation present William Shakespeare's masterpiece Richard II, a play delving into the boundaries of power and the tragic fall of a king, while illuminating the eternal struggle of man with power and himself; a breathtaking journey from ignorance to awareness.

Directed by Leandros Taliotis, the play follows the path of Richard II, a young monarch who discovers his true identity through his downfall—a noble yet weak character whose detachment from reality leads him to destruction.

The performance highlights Shakespeare's masterful art in depicting the gradual awakening of the king as betrayal and abandonment surround him. Through an emotional journey of self-awareness, the fallen king discovers his true royal essence just as he loses his crown.

The plot is set within the historical backdrop of the events that sparked the Wars of the Roses, providing a profound exploration of the nature of power, identity, and human consciousness.

The theatrical adaptation of Richard II’s story is not just another historical narrative; it serves as a mirror reflecting our modern society, where power continues to intoxicate, corrupt, and ultimately destroy. In Greek

STILL! - A statue that travelled the world (3+)

 

The production loved by young and old returns for another performance at the Rialto Theatre in Limassol!

 

A girl on a boat begins her journey into the unknown, trying to escape the horrors of war. She finds refuge in an unknown country and lies down to rest under the statue of a soldier. To her great surprise, the statue comes to life! Can a statue and a girl become friends and travel the world together? Can the girl teach the statue what life really is about and convince it to let go of the sword it holds? Written in an imaginary, universal language and with music as its main vehicle, the play is an ode to peace, friendship, diversity and the power of true love.

 

The play premiered in November 2021 at the Nicosia International Festival and has since toured to Armenia, Tunisia, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Greece, Uzbekistan and Hungary. In the summer of 2023, it won the Best International Performance Award at the online section of the International Children's Theatre Festival, organised by the National Children's Theatre of China.

The Word Progress on my Mother’s Lips Doesn't Ring True 

Matei Vișniec I Thoc Central Stage (15+)

 

A family that has been torn apart tries to heal its wounds. The Mother and Father – both fugitives from war atrocities, both refugees – return to their burnt, ravaged home. All they want is to find what is left of their dead son. He re-enters their lives as a ghostly presence, a witness to events on the battlefields of History, while their daughter struggles to survive in the trenches that line the pavements of a faltering Europe. Surrounding them is a familiar mosaic of dangerous yet absurd individuals who challenge the norms and values of society. A world slowly suffocating under the burden of national and social divisions, fragmented by the collapse of values, economic exploitation and inhumanity, but also containing redemption, precariously balanced between ruin and renewal.

 

Matei Vișniec, Romania's best-known and most widely performed contemporary dramatist, has crafted a painfully topical tale about loss and mourning, rootlessness, the refugee experience, and the longing for home. The struggle for survival and a better life is conveyed through moments of high drama infused with touches of humour.

 

Acclaimed director Varnavas Kyriazis brings the penetrating and stripped-down language of the Romanian French writer to THOC’s stage for the first time, exploring the interplay between the living and the dead, poetry and prose, realism and surrealism, to remind us of the importance of our ongoing negotiation with the site of memory. He is assisted by Michalis Christodoulidis’ superb musical themes and first-class cast and crew. With English and Turkish surtitles.

16 Thu 20:30 (110’) Attempts on her life by Martin Crimp

À Vendre (16+) On Stage

 

"No one will have directly experienced the actual cause of such happenings but everyone will have received an image of them." Jean Baudrillard

 

The theatre group À Vendre presents the play "Attempts on her life" by the British writer Martin Crimp, which 28 years after its first production is still very relevant.

 

How can we know who the other really is? 17 scenes, 17 attempts to describe, 17 attempts to understand, 17 stories that show us the process of constructing an identity for public consumption. A woman with different identities is the only link to all the stories. Anna is a victim of civil war, she is a superstar, she is a tourist guide, she is a visual artist, she is an international terrorist. Fragments of a woman who can be anything or nothing.

Each story illustrates the problems of contemporary society through the eyes of an absent woman who simultaneously functions as a vehicle that transports you to a world of made-up narratives.

Personne Ι FlashArt Ι On Stage (15+)

 

Liminal Theatre Company presents Personne based on Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima. In this early novel, Mishima takes us on an intimate journey of self-discovery triggered by his sexual awakening, against the backdrop of the final days of a losing war. He discovers his forbidden desire for men and a dark fascination with death and violence: an inner world he conceals under a self-conscious public mask. Following the paths of Mishima’s story, Personne is a quest for authenticity through narration and play. Etymologically, the word ‘personne’ refers to the actor’s mask. It means an ‘individual of the human species, without distinction of sex’; an individual, defined by his awareness of existing as a biological, moral and social being’*. In French, ‘personne’ also means ‘no one’. *Theodore Jouffroy, Mélanges Philosophiques, 1833.

Mother - Wajdi Mouawad Ι THOC New Stage 

 

Mother is the latest production of THOC’s New Stage “Nicos Charalambous”, written by acclaimed Lebanese-Canadian playwright, director, and actor Wajdi Mouawad, drawing on autobiographical elements. This is the final part of a trilogy that shifts the focus on members of the writer’s family, presented for the first time in Greek, and directed by Maria Mannaridou Karsera, recipient of the 2022 THOC Grand Prize.

 

In Mother (2021), Wajdi Mouawad revisits the themes of displacement, the trauma of war memory, and its intricate pathways, sharing his personal experience with the audience. A deep dive into the author’s recollections and their distortion over time, the play stands at the intersection of reality and fiction, where his mother takes centre stage, confronting war and her own inevitable uprooting.

 

His mother’s recollection is being reconstructed in an apartment in Paris, where the Mouawad family settled for five years due to the Lebanese civil war in the late 1970s. To her, this space is a temporary refuge, one she anxiously longs to leave every month in order to return to Beirut; a return to her roots that is constantly postponed and a trauma that continually deepens, the effects of which are strongly felt by her youngest son. The narrative weaves together the tragedy of displacement with the internal conflicts of family life, crafting a tapestry of profoundly humane questions about maternal love, loss, war and its miseries, as well as the vital resilience of human existence.

 

Maria Mannaridou Karsera approaches the play as a journey through the fragments of memory, where the characters discover the limits of their resilience. With the support of an exceptional cast and crew, she aims to highlight the fusion of personal and collective trauma, realism and dreams, and the clash between past and present. She invites the audience on a poetic and emotional journey, infused with nostalgia, humour, and tenderness. An ode to motherhood, an ode to life, but also a declaration of love for Lebanon and the Lebanese culture.
