The End of the Thread: Music-Theatre Performance in Nicosia

About the event

The End of the Thread is a music-theatre production marking a hundred years of AKEL and the Popular Movement, told through the eyes of a working-class Cypriot family. A red thread passes from hand to hand and from one generation to the next, standing for a struggle that carries on for as long as it is handed down. The story runs from the early twentieth century to the present day, taking in persecution, sacrifice and the ideals of freedom, democracy and social justice. Theatre, music, choral singing and archive projections are woven together, with direction and text by Neoklis Neocleous and artistic direction by Koulis Theodorou. Curtain up is at 8pm; entry is free, but seats are limited, so it is wise to book a ticket in advance.
