Performance to speak to our childhood

Before heading off to Athens in June to represent Cyprus in a theatrical contest, the play O Karagkiozis will be presented for two more performances on Friday and Saturday at the ARTos foundation in Nicosia.

The play by Lena Kitsopoulou offers a penetrating look into childhood. The hero’s path (played by Herodotos Miltiadous) is outlined from childhood to fatherhood. This path reveals wounds to his psychological wellbeing which were obtained during childhood. These wounds have devastating consequences for the future of the main character.

The 45-minute play, which is directed by Andreas Araouzos, is not suitable for people under 15-years-old.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. 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.
