Judy Garland arrives in London for some sold out appearances. Many years have past since she received world fame thanks to the film “The Wizard of Oz”. She is now a diva that everyone recognises and admires. Yet she is also a woman being exhausted by showbiz who dreams of little and seemingly insignificant pleasures of a simpler life. Just like the lyrics of her famous song: “Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly, birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can’t I?” A tribute to one of the major legends of music and show!

Fengaros Music Village 2020
2020-07-23 - 2020-07-28 | Kato Drys, Unnamed Road, Kato Drys, Larnaca, Cyprus
Fengaros Music Village returns to the village of Kato Drys this summer from the 23rd to the 28th of July, providing arts education through a series of music and theater workshops. The workshops will take place daily during the morning and afternoon hours, filling the traditional Cypriot village with music and creativity. Attendees will be able to choose from nine workshops taught by industry professionals with expertise in fields ranging from jazz and popular music, to film scoring, to acting, and to non-western musical traditions. This year’s instructors will include artists from Cyprus, Spain, Greece, USA and Germany. Participating in Fengaros Music Village will expose attendees to a new network and community of artists. Now in its seventh edition, the event has become an institution and is one of the most important meetings on the island for musicians from Cyprus and abroad.
Throughout the years, Fengaros Music Village has functioned as the birthplace of many musical and artistic collaborations and projects. In recent years, participants have gone on to accomplish several music releases, numerous festival and concert performances in Cyprus and abroad, not to mention access to a nurturing networking pool of music and arts creatives based in Cyprus. Each year, a group of student participants form an ensemble under the guidance of the resident artist, and performs as the opening act of Fengaros Festival, an international open air music festival which takes place after Fengaros Music Village.
The aim of Fengaros Music Village is to foster productive knowledge and idea exchange between artists of varied backgrounds, including workshop instructors and participants alike. Each evening free concerts are available to the public followed by jam sessions in the village’s cafe. Moreover, it is of utmost importance that the creation of a long-lasting, hybrid artistic community, characterised by solidarity, both in the field of collective creativity and in the production and distribution of artistic work, is cultivated.

Theater: "Ladies’ Tailor" starring Giannis Bezos
2020-07-24 21:00 | Pattichion Municipal Amphitheatre, Πεζόδρομος Πατιχείου,, Larnaca, 6031, Cyprus
5 performances in Cyprus in July
The play, which was canceled in March due to the coronavirus, “Ladies Tailor” with Giannis Bezos, is now scheduled for the end of July.
The play “Ladies Tailor” by Georges Fento, adapted and directed by Giannis Bezos, is finally coming to Cyprus. For the first time, the subversive speech and the explosive humor of Georges Fedo meet music, in an original composition of Phoebus Delivorias.
“Ladies’ Tailor”, Fento’s most famous work – he wrote it at the age of twenty-five, in 1887, knowing his first great success – is a classic, enjoyable comedy full of surprises, clever humor and stormy action. Marital infidelity becomes the tool to satirize hypocrisy, modesty and petty bourgeois manners, creating the image of the ultimate farce.
Plot
In 1890 Paris, Belle’s Epoch, Toulouse-Lautrec, Montmartre and Moulin Rouge, Georges Feido wrote the situation comedy “Ladies’ Tailor” (1887), which is admittedly considered his best work.
In a Paris neighborhood, a doctor returns early in the morning to the marital home after a failed attempt at infidelity. There, his servant, his wife and then his mother-in-law, wait for him, while his best friend tries to rent him an apartment which later turns into a love nest-tailor shop.
Encounters that should not have happened, truths that end up in conditional lies, constant role changes and comically unexpected situations, compose an image of absolute prank. Georges Feido, like Eugene Lambis, is an anatomist of marital infidelity, penetrating and criticizing the morals of the bourgeoisie in a ruthless yet extremely humorous way!
