URBAN DETAILS

- vitrines - 

R e g i n a Cinema

 

The project aims to activate - through artistic interventions - the front window of the Regina Cinema building in Rigenis Street , Old Historical Centre, in Nicosia.

The building, which once functioned as a cinema, bar and hotel, has been abandoned in the capital since the 1980s.

The front window is perceived by the presents project as an exhibition space through which the once - modernist building - will "reopen".

Uniting the Mediterranean Sea. Marseille auditions & rehearsals.

 

What happens when six actors from six Mediterranean countries exchange their unique stories? What happens when they meet over the course of two years to discuss their past and share their dreams of a common future? What happens when their meeting place is the open sea? 

Uniting the Mediterranean Sea is a site-specific theatre performance under the umbrella of Pafos 2017, European Capital of Culture.

The large-scale project/performance re-investigates the idea of a shared entity – the Mediterranean Sea – bringing together six actors who represent six different Mediterranean cities: Alexandria, Barcelona, Izmir, Marseille, Pafos and Tangier.

Writer, actor and director Marios Ioannou travels to Marseille to find the actor to represent France.

The performance took place between August 15-18 in Pegia, Pafos near the coast of EDRO III shipwreck.
