Theatre & showsBasinga — Soka Tira Osoa: a high-wire crossing above the crowd, ArtCargo finaleThe festival’s grand finale: French high-wire artist Tatiana-Mosio Bongonga crosses a 25-metre wire above the crowd without a safety harness, to live music. She can only make the crossing because of the audience — together with local volunteers, they pull and hold the rope taut, like a tug-of-war in which everyone pulls the same way. Fifty minutes, free.Sat, 24 Oct8pmNicosia, Old GSP Square, NicosiaAll ages€Free

Thirty minutes, free.24 – 25 Oct24 Oct: 1pm and 3pm; 25 Oct: 5pmNicosia, Nicosia City HallAll ages€Free
Outdoors & natureVagabonding Cyprus: The Island Quest — Chapter II Into the WildThe second chapter of the Vagabonding Cyprus: The Island Quest series heads deep into the Machairas Forest on a 14 km trail to two forgotten places, the abandoned settlement of Chelidonia and the old monastery of Prophet Elias.

The full quest has eight trails covering around 100 km of the island, with stamps and achievements earned along the way. Newcomers can join at any chapter, so missing the first is no obstacle. There are only 30 places, registration is required through the organisers' Instagram, and tickets start at €15.Sat, 24 OctNicosia, Machairas Forest€from €15
Theatre & showsElelei — Too Much: dance, theatre and acrobatics — ArtCargoThree performers from the Catalan company Elelei send dance, theatre and acrobatics crashing into one another to ask when care turns into control and love becomes “too much”. It springs from a Catalan saying — roughly, “I love you so much I could poke your eye out” — and is funny, intense and very human. Thirty minutes, free, with no words needed.24 – 25 Oct24 Oct: 4pm and 6.30pm (Dimarchias Square); 25 Oct: 3pm (Eleftheria Square Bridge)Nicosia, Dimarchias Square and Eleftheria Square Bridge, NicosiaAll ages€Free
