As part of the three-day celebration "Taste the music"
"Routes λ2" is based on the theatrical event Routes that took place in March 2019 with stories inspired by the theatrical workshop held within the European program "Perform to Reform" in collaboration with ACCEPT LOATI - Cyprus, and partners NGOs participating in the program, from Slovenia, Northern Macedonia, the Netherlands and Greece.
The performance will take place in one of the Municipal Buses starting from the Nicosia Municipal Theatre.

More about the event:
This is a pioneering theatrical event that will take place on the municipal buses of the Municipality where the experiences of individuals of the LGBT + community will be shown, through stories that often remain on the sidelines. The stories unfold in a small moving bus, the action acquires "roots" in the city of Nicosia, connecting it with the urban space, its stories and its dynamics. The spectator is no longer a mere witness in the theatrical act as he will be part of the journey, inaugurating a new relationship between spectator and event: as a bus passenger, he will be present in the space where various events will take place, both inside and in the outside of the moving vehicle.
Why (λ2)
The Greek letter lambda (λ) was chosen in 1970 to depict the campaign of the Homosexual Activist Alliance for the freedom of homosexuals. Four years later, the International Gay Rights Congress in Scotland chose this symbol for gay and lesbian rights. In physics, lambda is used to represent the wavelength associated with energy and is therefore used to symbolize the energy of the Gay Movement. In addition, λ2 is the route made by the minibuses of Nicosia in the center of the capital and the number (2) highlights the continuation (the second part) of the Routes.
