About the event:
Nicosia 2030 presents plays inspired by the city's history written by children for children
The Nicosia International Festival 2024 actively participates in Nicosia’s candidacy for the European Capital of Culture 2030 and co-creation with children is a key pillar of Nicosia's efforts. That is why this year the Festival is developing its theatrical co-creation workshop "Exploring the theatre", with the support of the Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia.
More about the event:
The five-day theatrical co-creation workshop for children aged 9 - 12 will commence on August 26, 2024 at the Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia. The museum's experienced team will guide the children through its permanent and temporary exhibitions so that they can discover the history of Nicosia and "experience" their city through the exhibits. Surrounded by these rich historical collections, they will begin to write their own play inspired by the history of their city.
For the remaining days, August 27 – 30, the children will be based at the modern facilities of the Nicosia Municipal Theatre where, together with theatre professionals, they will experience the different professions that participate in staging a play, they will complete their own "Nicosia" play, which they shall direct themselves, prepare the lighting design and bring their play to life on the stage of the Nicosia Municipal Theater. They will also write their own music and lyrics and create their own poster. And all this with plenty of fun and theatre games.
Eleni Anastasiou (director, dramaturg), Stavros Stavrou (lyricist, playwright, philologist), Andreas Michalopoulos (composer, pianist, music teacher), Sosanna Tomazou (set designer, costume designer), Ioanna Kordatou (actress) and Myria Argyrou (actress) shall run the theatrical co-creation workshop. Alongside them members of the Nicosia International Festival team: George G. Papageorgiou (artistic director), Christos Charalambous (lighting designer), Sotos Charalambous (sound engineer), Nikolas Prokopiou (sound engineer) and Andreas Sofokleous (production officer).
