Kypria International Festival: a celebration of art
August 28, 2019
It’s almost September; the summer – if not its weather – is officially over, and there are no more flowers in our hair. We’ve partied in parks, made music in the mountains, chugged cocktails on the coast and generally lived a life of shameless, sandaled self-indulgence for the past three months. It is time to Get Back To Work. Well, almost. Because we’ve one last festival to contend with before the season’s truly done…
Fortunately, it’s an event which matches the more serious mood. As we shuck off the tenuous teenage dreams of summer (cut-off denims in an open-top car – what were we thinking?!) and return to the adult world, we’re given a festival that’s more appropriate – a quietly dignified series of performances. Taking in a thoughtful range of theatrical, musical, and dance pieces by well-known artists from around the globe, this is an event series 25 years in the making, a cultural masterpiece. Kypria.
