Metamorphosis, Belgian Art 1860-1930
2019-10-31 10:00 - 2020-01-27 17:00 | Leventis Gallery, 5 Leonidou Street, Nicosia, 1097, Cyprus
The new temporary exhibition of A. G. Leventis Gallery is dedicated to the leaders of Belgian Impressionism as well as to the movements that developed after them. Selected works from Museums and private collections from Belgium, Greece and Cyprus, showcase the evolution of Belgian Impressionism, from mid-19th to the beginning of 20th century. The exhibition is a retrospective to Belgian Impressionists and the group which, in their attempt to reclaim some of the limelight from their more famous French counterparts, have discovered unique ways in handling light, emphasising on ‘sensation’ rather than ‘impression’.
The exhibition will focus on the movement’s most celebrated exponents, bringing together works from leading Belgian museums, but also treasures from celebrated private collections, many hitherto unseen and unpublished. Following on from the precursors of Realism in Belgium, such as Hippolyte Boulenger and Charles Hermans, the exhibition will dwell on the flourishing of plein-air painting in Belgium in the late 19th century, through works by Félicien Rops, Théo van Rysselberghe, Guillaume Vogels and James Ensor, among others. It will trace the spirit of thriving artistic circles, such as La Chrysalide and Les XX, and present the poetic nocturnes of Louis Artan and the intensity of Isidore Verheyden’s landscapes alongside the dazzling skies of Pericles Pantazis – the only Greek in this intimate circle of Belgian Impressionists.
Curators:
Evita Arapoglou, Curator of the Greek Collection of the A. G. Leventis Gallery
Constantin Ekonomides, Art Historian
Myrto Hatzaki, Curator of the Paris Collection of the A. G. Leventis Gallery

Berlinale Selection: System Crasher
2019-11-08 19:00 | Technopolis 20, 18 Nikolaou Nikolaidi Avenue Paphos, Paphos, 8010, Cyprus
The Goethe-Institut begins a new film series with Berlinale Selection 2019, which will present every autumn a selection of the best new German language films of the year.
Films will be screened that have been positively reviewed internationally and that have received awards by juries. Films, which offer an insight into social issues in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and that make it possible to experience these countries through the medium of film. Films that are thought provoking and show new perspectives or that are just beautiful and fun.
As diverse and colourful as the societies are also the directors, actors and locations of these films.
Four of five films of the Berlinale Selection 2019 show different family situations and illustrate in a fascinating, dramatic or tragicomical way how people deal with their familial fate.
System crasher (Systemsprenger)
Drama // 125 minutes // 2019 // Directed by: Nora Fingscheidt
It is very hard to control Benni. She is a “system crasher”, a child who radically breaks any rules and consistently rejects any kind of imposed structures. System crashers also tend to slip through the cracks of the German child and youth welfare services. Wherever Benni is admitted, she is soon thrown out again. And that is exactly her goal, as she longs to be close to her mother, who is, however, completely overwhelmed by her daughter’s unpredictable behaviour. This film testifies to the fervent yearning of a child for security and love.
The screening is taking place within the framework of the “Weeks of the German Language”.

Musical Bridges - The Piano Quartet
2019-11-08 20:30 | Rialto Theater, Rialto Theatre, Limassol, 3603, Cyprus
The Piano Quartet came out of the need by four pianists to sidestep the loneliness of the solo player, the solitary long hours of practicing and even the solitude of the stage performance. “This loneliness is something we grow up with but it does not mean we are loners as characters”, writes the creator of the project Musical Bridges, Dr. Galina Dimova-Georgieva. There are many examples of great pianists who sought the collaboration with fellow musicians in their career, Nicolas Economou’s pioneering collaboration “On Four Pianos” in 1983, being a case in point. Natalia Lezedova, Nina Ioannidou, Ivelina Ruseva and Galina Dimova played at a concert during the Winter Music Festival 2017 in Paphos and decided to develop a program with predominantly six and eight hands works instead of the usual solos or duets. Three concerts came out of this idea and Musical Bridges is the third series.
The Paphos-based four pianists, originally come from different backgrounds (Cyprus, Greece, Bulgaria and Russia) and the program is compiled so as to reflect this diversity without neglecting the classical repertoire with works by Scriabin and Saint-Saëns. The most eminent Bulgarian composer Pancho Vladigerov is represented with two pieces – the emblematic Bulgarian Rhapsody Vardar and the lyrical Song. The virtuoso Sabre Dance by Aram Khachaturian and the enigmatic Elegy by Arno Babajanian will introduce the listener to the best Soviet Armenian music. A tribute to the genius of the Cypriot composer Nicolas Economou will be paid with a performance of his Three Pieces for Chick.
The Piano Quartet commissioned the Greek composer Dimitiris Tsoukas to arrange a selection of songs by Manos Hadjidakis for eight hands, which will be performed for the first time.
Galina Dimova, Natalia Lezedova, Nina Ioannidou & Ivelina Ruseva perform compositions by Saint-Saëns, Scriabin, Lavignac, Vladigerov, Khachaturian, Babajanian, Hadjidakis, Piazzolla, Cornick, Economou for solo, four, six and eight hands.

The holiday trilogy
2019-11-08 20:30 - 2020-01-19 00:00 | THOC Theater, 9 Gregori Afxentiou, Limassol, 1096, Cyprus
THOC’s Main Stage presents the play “The holiday trilogy” by the Italian playwright Carlo Goldoni.
Leonardo and his sister Vittoria are preparing feverishly to depart for the country. Social convention demands that they live a life of luxury, yet their debts are so great that this has become an impossibility. They cannot afford to go, but how can Leonardo stay behind when his beloved Giacinta is also leaving for the summer accompanied by a handsome young rival? Their expensive sojourn in the country makes their financial problems even worse and will ultimately force them to compromise.
With humour and sly irony, Goldoni castigates the passion with which his fellow-countrymen assert their status through luxury vacations, describing it as “madness and folly”. Since the mid-18th century, when The holiday trilogy was written, it is a type of behaviour that has changed little, undermining the dignity and humility of human existence.

Temporarily submerging themselves in the action, the audience members enjoy the experience of a stroll that embraces and reclaims the renovated building of the theatre, as a dynamic space, after years of absence from it.

Madama Butterfly - The MET Live in HD
2019-11-09 19:55 | Rialto Theater, Rialto Theatre, Limassol, 3603, Cyprus
Live broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera
Madama Butterfly, broadcast live from the Metropolitan Opera, is a breathtaking production directed by Anthony Minghella and conducted by Pier Giorgio Morandi.
World premiere: Teatro alla Scala, Milan, 1904. Met premiere: February 11, 1907. The title character of Madama Butterfly—a young Japanese geisha who clings to the belief that her arrangement with a visiting American naval officer is a loving and permanent marriage—is one of the defining roles in opera. The story triggers ideas about cultural and sexual imperialism for people far removed from the opera house, and film, Broadway, and popular culture in general have riffed endlessly on it. The lyric beauty of Puccini’s score, especially the music for the thoroughly believable lead role, has made Butterfly timeless.
Creators: Giacomo Puccini (1858–1924) was immensely popular in his own lifetime, and his mature works remain staples in the repertory of most of the world’s opera companies. His librettists for Madama Butterfly, Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica, had also collaborated with the composer on his previous two operas, Tosca and La Bohème. Giacosa, a dramatist, was responsible for the stories and Illica, a poet, worked primarily on the words themselves.
Settings: The opera takes place in the Japanese port city of Nagasaki at the turn of the last century, at a time of expanding American international presence. Japan was hesitantly defining its global role, and Nagasaki was one of the country’s few ports open to foreign ships. Temporary marriages for foreign sailors were not unusual.
Music: Puccini achieved a new level of sophistication with his use of the orchestra in this score, with subtle colorings and sonorities throughout. But the opera rests squarely on the performer of the title role: On stage for most of the time, Cio-Cio-San is the only character that experiences true (and tragic) development. The singer must convey an astounding array of emotions and characteristics, from ethereal to fleshly to intelligent to dreamy-bordering-on-insane, to resigned in the final scene.
