«The gatanin»:
It is a landmark work of Cypriot playwriting, deeply rooted in local tradition and folk wisdom, which through the richness of the Cypriot dialect and its moving narrative brings to life an era where debt, honour, love, war, death and fate are inextricably intertwined, turning personal stories into a piece of collective memory. A show that invites the old and the new generation to travel in the warmth of its past and its language.
