Agrippina - The MET Live in HD
2020-02-29 19:55 | Rialto Theater, Rialto Theatre, Limassol, 3603, Cyprus
Live broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera
Handel’s tale of intrigue and impropriety in ancient Rome receives its first Met performances, with star mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato as the controlling, power-hungry Agrippina and Harry Bicket conducting.
Sir David McVicar’s production ingeniously reframes the action of this black comedy about the abuse of power to “the present,” where it should loudly resonate. The all-star cast features mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey as Agrippina’s son and future emperor Nerone, soprano Brenda Rae as the seductive Poppea, countertenor Iestyn Davies as the ambitious officer Ottone, and bass Matthew Rose as the weary emperor Claudius.
Running time 224’

FOOTBALL. The game of humanity
2020-03-06 18:00 - 2020-03-07 00:00 | Theatro Dentro, Theatro Dentro, Nicosia, Cyprus
What may football, the references to Messi, Ronaldo, Pele and Maradona have to do with the history of humanity itself and the building of modern western societies?
FOOTBALL is a “cruel, bloody comedy”, by Thanassis Triarides, directed by Triantafyllos Delis and starring Sifis Polizoidis, is being presented for the first time in Cyprus. The show – after two very successful seasons in Athens, Thessaloniki and tours in major cities in Greece – will perform at the “Theatro Dentro” (Nicosia) on 6-7 March 2020, presented by MiNIMIS Theater Company and the University Cyprus (University Development and Alumni Relations Office).
FOOTBALL is a caustic monologue with loads of humor, which analyzes the history of mankind through the history of football, starting in 1500 AD.
FOOTBALL (2017) along with LEOPOLD (2017) and HIV (2018) make for an informal political trilogy. The basic point of this trilogy is that we are the spectators of the perpetrators and that it is time to pay a price. The author’s need to write these works was born following his travels to Africa and his desire to talk about the travels of the “well fed” in a “hungry” continent.
When: 6 March 2020 at 20:30, 7 March 2020 at 18:00 and 20:30
Where: Theatro Dentro (Enotitos 44Β, Post code 1041, Pallouriotissa, Nicosia)

With their inspired mixture between Black Sabbath and Tool with the traditional instruments and scales from the Greek rich musical past, they created a blend meant to strike an impression both locally and internationally.
Since their debut album “Riza” in 2014 they toured all over Greece and brought their music out to many European cities (Berlin, Amsterdam, Barcelona, London, among others). Throughout the last years performed in carefully selected shows in Greece, featuring a vast production with impressive light show and grandiose stage settings, with highlights their open air sold out shows in Athens 2015 and 2019 with more than 6000 attendance each.
In the meantime, the foundations for the “Age Of Aquarius” were laid in absolute secrecy. 5 years in the making is not an easy feat to stay hidden, but VIC did manage to keep it under wraps until the autumn of 2019 when all preparations were completed.
The new album “Age Of Aquarius” is exactly what the title implies, a whole new era of creation and experimentation, sonically and lyrically, setting up a journey through space and time.

The fun code festival goes to space to inspire more teenagers to take an interest in programming!
Have you ever dreamed of going into space? Or have you wondered how the International Space Station (ISS) works? Ever asked yourself how a robotic rover on mars — more than 50 million kilometers away — is remote-controlled from earth?
The theme of Code Cyprus 2020 is Space Exploration.
And during the keynote and the workshops, we show how code is at the center of all space exploration efforts! From handling the robotic arm on the ISS, to computing the orbits for interplanetary travel, and of course for remote-controlling a rover — such as the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) — from our home planet, earth.

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.

Each evening free concerts are available to the public followed by jam sessions in the village’s cafe.
