Festival defies the virus gloom
August 24, 2021
Kypria International Festival 2021 returns dedicated to its founder, the later education minister Claire Angelidou
“The arts are an inexhaustible wellspring that makes the world a better place,” says Andy Bargilly, the artistic director of Kypria International Festival.
“They develop empathy, they raise our levels of aesthetic perception in all its manifestations and make us better people. In difficult times, the importance and necessity of the arts becomes even greater.” And that, he says, is why the Kypria festival has kept going in spite of the difficulties created by the pandemic.
