About the event:

A few years ago, Cyprus was shaken by the terrifying - and accidental - disclosure of the murdering of immigrant women by a native respectful citizen. We gather at a lake alluding to the real events in an attempt to understand something deep and ominous about the Cyprus culture.


More about the event:

What happens: You arrive at Sha Mine Lake, a toxic reservoir with blood-red water, acting as the main character of this site-specific performance. In the stunning landscape of the copper mines surrounding the lake, four performative scenes unfold, involving professional Cypriot actors and Filipinos speaking in their native language. The whole place becomes a gigantic installation that gradually assimilates the spectators - the citizens of the society in question. This site-specific project is an immersive theatre experience resulting in a show that aims to serve as an exposé of contemporary Cyprus culture.

What you'll experience:

Qualunquismo (Italian) - An attitude of apathy, indifference or disgust towads politics

Weltschmerz (German) - World-weariness, world-hurt; causeless melancholy; existential sadness (e.g., relating to despair at the state of the world).

Tikkun olam (Hebrew, תיקון עולם) - 'Repair of the world'; a Jewish aspiration to act constructively and beneficially; social action and the pursuit of justice

What you need to know: Director Paris Erotokritou and playwright Yorgos Trillidis in this work attempt to hold a mirror up to Cypriot society. The staging of the play is conceived as an art installation, posing questions many of us would not think existed.
