Staged Reading, directed by Nefeli Kentoni. Within the framework of the Weeks of the German Language
On November 23, a staged reading directed by Nefeli Kentoni will take place, organized by the Austrian Embassy and the Goethe-Institut Cyprus. Selected literary texts from the German-speaking world will be performed live on stage, as part of the Weeks of the German Language.
Limassol – a city in transition. Gentrification and rapid urban development shape its face, transforming streets, houses, and ways of life. In this reading, we invite you on a poetic journey through the city’s transformation: its construction, its destruction, and the traces it leaves within us. The selected poems and texts reflect the ambivalence of the urban, between progress and loss, hope and despair.
For this event, Nefeli Kentoni has engaged deeply with city poems by the German poet Bertolt Brecht and with the work Awakening to the Great Sleep War by the Austrian author Gert Jonke, combining them into a unique fusion. Let yourself be surprised by this exciting and extraordinary connection!
