A paper world for children to explore

They say that actions speak louder than words, and the upcoming theatre performance A Short Paper Story will prove that they are right as it is a production without words by Eidekanou Theatre.

The performance, which is suitable for children from three-years-old, is a highly physical piece which takes places in a paper world, where anything is possible.

The story is set on a day which would have been just like any other at the paper factory for the solitary paper guard, except for the rain, the terrible thunder and the arrival of the new assistant. Instead of folding paper, the new assistant creases it, crumples it, rips it and tears it. The paper guard has to protect the paper factory from this tyrant and decides to send the assistant away, the only thing is the thunder gets louder – and the paper guard is so scared of thunder – and there is a power cut. Now the two of them are alone in the dark, in a place where paper transforms into a magical world where there are snakes, slingshots, eagles, horses, dragons and telescopes. In this enchanted world the paper guard and the new assistant play, have fun and become friends.

It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
