Thursday 11 July 2024
The summer events of the Faneromeni 24 Arts Festival begin with the musicopoetic performance "Cyprus: from yesterday to today". The performance will highlight the continuity of the people of Cyprus through time, music and poetry, elements that inform a multidimensional landscape, reflecting the influences of the past and present. Each note and lyric are a narrative, a living testimony of Cypriot identity and human experience, which continues to inspire and stir the experiences of invasion, uprooting, loss, poverty, relationship with the land, love and love, joy and pain, faith, hope and resistance.
Faneromeni 24 Arts Festival begins with the musicopoetic performance “Cyprus: From Yesterday to Today”. The performance will highlight the endurance of the people of Cyprus through time, where music and poetry become the building blocks for a multifaceted landscape that reflects both past and present. Every note, every lyric becomes its own narrative, a living testimony of Cypriot identity and human experience that continues to inspire and stir us; through memories of invasion, uprooting, loss, poverty; through our relationship with the land; through love, joy and pain; through faith, hope and resistance.
