TEN YEARS OF PRESENCE: CELEBRATION OF ETHAL’S SECOND STAGE
From the performance of the play Beast on the Moon by Armenian-American Richard Kalinoski in February 2000, directed by Varnavas Kyriasis, to the premiere, just before Christmas, of Israeli Ilan Hatsor’s The Slaughterhouse, directed by Minas Tikilis, ten years have passed. During this time, ETHAL, the theatre in Limassol, has produced an impressive 110 theatrical productions.
This uphill yet highly creative journey of ETHAL, closely linked to the arrival of its artistic director Minas Tikilis in Cyprus and significantly to the move to the Technochoros on Franklin Roosevelt Street, has been marked by reflection and dialogue. On Saturday, October 30, at the atrium of the Rector’s Office of the Cyprus University of Technology in the Limassol Molos area, ETHAL engaged with industry professionals, the local community, audiences, collaborators, and students of CUT.
From Niki Marangou to Mamet, and from Mamet to Ibsen, Catalan playwright Sergi Belbel, British playwrights Rona Munro and Charlotte Keatley, Fassbinder, Pinter, Bernhard, and Bertolt Brecht’s Mahagonny, as well as Greek playwright Tsiolis, Irish playwright Marie Jones, Adonis Floridis, and the uniqueness of Kavvadias, ETHAL’s Second Stage has made a remarkable impact on Cyprus’s theatrical scene.
Speakers at the event included Evi Gavriilidis, Nona Moleski, Katia Schiza-Lamari, theatre scholar and director Nikiforos Papandreou from the Experimental Art Stage in Thessaloniki.
Saturday, October 30, 2010, at 7:30 p.m., at the Atrium of the Rector’s Office of CUT in Limassol.
The event featured a video screening, an exhibition of photographs from performances by Christos Avraamides, and an open discussion.
