Ecopolis Festival 2019
2019-07-10 19:00 - 2019-07-12 12:00 | Municipal Market of Nicosia, (Market of the old Town Hall) Nicosia, Nicosia Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus
Ecopolis returns with another 3-day anti-commercial festival with no sponsors. Just like last year, admission to all events will be free.
From 19:00 on each day of the festival you can find us at the square where there will be various information desks of activist initiatives and groups. The presentations will start at 20:00. This year’s festival preliminary programme is the following:
10/07 – “Urban Conflicts in Nicosia: obstacles and potentialities”. Presentation by Ecopolis and discussion.
11/07 – Presentation: “Unsustainable: Capitalism’s Ecological Plundering”. Discussion with interventions by initiatives for ecology and the city will follow.
12/07 – Ecopolis_live with Ηead On, Stonus and The Handmade band.
More information on the concert and other musical and visual happenings and interventions will be announced soon!
Donations help us maintain the festival’s independent and self-funded character, so they are more than welcome.
A few words about Ecopolis:
The city as the main field of social activity and action reflects the wider social environment. Ecopolis festival aims to reveal, challenge, and renegotiate the social tensions of everyday life in the streets, squares and benches of Nicosia. A city that is drowning in coffee shops, street-side tables and fashionable bars. The old city of Nicosia has changed face: from sub-developed historical center it has now fulfilled its potential as an ideal city-commodity, maintaining the advertisable image of the “last divided capital”, while the accelerated gentrification of the last years has constituted it as an urban jewel “clean” from social relations and situations that oppose commodity relations mediated by spectacle.
Skyscrapers for high-class apartments and businesses, pedestrian zones occupied by the tables of countless interchangeable shops, the lack of public benches, fences around Faneromeni church that get taller every year, sidewalks full of parked cars, sky-rocketing rents that become prohibitive for migrant residents –all a result of gentrification and the consumerist influx which followed, creating a city where the only acceptable social / political activity is consumption. Meanwhile, barbed wire, barrels and armies force us us to live our geographical and historic site as half, mediated by the symbols of hatred and tedious queues at the checkpoints to walk a distance of 100 meters.
For us, these are factors composing a challenging landscape of action, in which we intervene creatively by expressing and making proposals for societies organized outside hierarchical, capitalist and sexist mentalities and institutions, on the basis of self-organization, solidarity and companionship. The Ecopolis festival is being held this year for the first time by the Ecopolis working group on ecology and the city. Ecopolis festival aims to put forth the claim to the city as a Common, as a field of resistance to the social and environmental endeavors of neoliberalism. We want to create the conditions in which the city is experienced as a point of reference and socialization, action and experimentation, rather than as a polished real estate commodity bought and sold according to the laws of the market and current trends.

Bio
By the end of the 1990s, Sasha and John Digweed had become two of the most recognized DJs in the world. Widespread interest in a style of up-tempo electronic music laden in synth melodies and pumping beats known as trance (or less frequently as progressive trance) propelled the British DJs to worldwide fame along with peers such as Paul Van Dyk and Paul Oakenfold. As trance began to hit its peak, both DJs began to diversify their track selection in an effort to avoid being pigeonholed as specifically trance DJs. Whereas their early mix CD’s defined the sound of trance for the mid-’90s, they soon took the position as two of the genre’s leaders, continually focusing on the latest records and evolving sounds of producers such as Breeder while staying true to their musical roots.

Dinner with Friends
2019-07-06 21:00 | Paralimni Municipal Amphitheatre, Paralimni, Famagusta, 5280, Cyprus
Dinner with Friends is a play written by Donald Margulies. It received the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Plot Summary
Gabe and Karen, a happily married, middle-aged couple, live in Connecticut. They have been friends with Tom and Beth, another married couple, for many years. In fact, it was Gabe and Karen who introduced their friends in the first place. While having dinner at Gabe and Karen’s home, Beth tearfully reveals that she is getting a divorce from Tom, who has been unfaithful.
Tom, who had been away on business, finds out that Beth has told their friends about the looming divorce, and hastens to Gabe and Karen’s home. Tom and Beth had planned to tell their friends about their breakup together, but Tom now believes that Beth unfairly has presented herself as the wronged party, and feels he must present his own side of the story.
The time flashes back 12 years to a vacation home on Martha’s Vineyard, when Karen and Gabe introduce Beth to Tom. Over the course of the play, both couples are seen at different ages and stages of their lives. Tom and Beth’s breakup affects Gabe and Karen, who first feel compelled to choose sides, and then begin to question the strength of their own seemingly tranquil marriage. They also begin to see the real meaning behind their friendships with Tom and Beth.

Edi Nulz
A band that shows again and again the wonderfully laid-back and artful way one can free oneself from all musical constraints and traditions. The Band consists of three musicians who have opened the gates to a new musical understanding since the formation of their band in 2011. Originally coming from jazz, the three gentlemen have basically left that all behind them and found their own musical identity, drawing their influences from different directions.
Besides the strong instrumental skills and the highly complex songs of the musicians, it is above all the driving energy in the playing style, melodies, harmonies and riffs that sets the music of this trio apart from traditional jazz, and is rather reminiscent of the progressive rock era in the 70s. After releasing the critically acclaimed album “An der vulgären Kante” in 2016, Edi Nulz presented their latest album “El Perro Grande” in spring 2018.
Siegmar Brecher – bass clarinet

Sendecki – Spiegel
Vladyslav Sendecki is considered one of the most powerful and creative solo pianists in the European jazz scene. The Süddeutsche Zeitung praised him as a “master of emotion, creating poignant musical virtuosity”. And the New York Village Voice made him one of the top five jazz pianists in the world. He is highly ranked among the great pianists of the last 100 years, with Herbie, Chick and Duke and Jarrett.
For his part, Jürgen Spiegel has been a driving rhythmic force and sensitive sound painter in the world-famous Tingvall Trio for more than fifteen years. Now the two Hamburg-based musicians have met in an unusual piano/percussion constellation for an exciting project in the studio: Poetry meets Dynamics, virtuosity on fine dialogue, freedom on the exchange of emotions. A journey of sound that is difficult to avoid, and which naturally dissolves the boundaries between jazz, classical and world music.

Luca Ciarla solOrchestra
A creative and surprising violinist, Luca Ciarla easily transcends the boundaries among genres to trace an innovative musical path, a magical acoustic seduction in perfect balance between written compositions and improvisation, traditional and contemporary sounds. He has successfully performed in jazz, classical and world music festivals and concert series in more than fifty countries in the world.
The Italian violin wizard owns the stage with his fiddle and a few toy instruments. Step by step, with a loop pedal, he performs live all the parts, playing the violin like a guitar, a cello or percussion. In this imaginative landscape Luca sings, whistles, plays other instruments and adds new virtuosic passages; the music continuously evolves into a dazzling solo orchestra.

Mihalis Kalkanis Group
His music draws on real-life snapshots, which are then processed into artistic creations and carve out a path of their own. Field recordings fused with electronic sounds, traditional rhythms and melodic lines filtered through improvisational processes, notes and sounds from all over the world transmuted through a pure jazz idiom and much more have already been recorded in his past albums (“Scarborough Tales” of 2010, “A Parking Lot Performance” of 2012, “World Echoes in Athens” of 2015). Mihalis Kalkanis hails from a musical family with a long tradition from Asia Minor and Northern Greece. Although rooted in the depths of this tradition his own music tends to manifest patent urban references, a fact that renders him one of the most interesting creative musicians of the new generation. His group formed the brand new music proposition of the 2018 Athens Technopolis Jazz Festival and, during the same year, he travelled extensively and presented his work in other festivals and live stages all over Greece. On 3 July, his performance is sure to captivate us and create a magical atmosphere that will awaken our emotions.

The Trojan Women by Euripides
2019-06-30 21:00 | Skali Aglantzias, Ekaterinis Kornaro 8, Nicosia, 2108, Cyprus
International Festival of Ancient Greek Drama 2019
The Slovene National Theatre Nova Gorica presents the first Slovenian production of Euripides’ tragedy The Trojan Women, the opening production of this year’s Festival.
The universally timeless anti-war tragedy, with the exceptional direction of Jaša Koceli and Marjuta Slamič in the role of Hecuba, gathered rave reviews from the Slovenian press and audience, giving Marjuta Slamič the Tantadruj award as a distinction for her performance (season 2017/2018).
The Trojan War is over; the Trojan heroes have fallen; the royal family is decimated; the once glorious city is looted. In a landscape of desolation, under the ruined walls, Hecuba – the mother, the woman, the queen- together with the women of Troy, all captives of the Achaeans, lament over their tribulations and their fate to be led as slaves in the homes of the victors.
In Trojan Women, Euripides expresses a relentless “blame” for the atrocities of war, condemning the ferocity of man and praises his ability to endure.
