2021-08-01, 2021-07-25, 2021-07-18, 2021-07-11
During the workshop “Creating unique natural beeswax candles”, our guests initially watchtwo short documentaries on life and importance of bees as well as the threats they face, and a brief discussion specifically about the beeswax productionwithin the Educational Hall. In the same Hall, visitors can observe the bees working insight a glass hive. Subsequently, visitors attend and participate in the entire production process of various kinds of natural candles with and/or without the addition of essential oils. Boil pieces of beeswax using Bain marie method, mix other oils of our choice and prepare the molds and wicks that we will need. At the same time, prepare the wax plates to make pillar candles. After the mixture is prepared, pour it into the molds and decorate our candles using various fresh herbs or other objects. Until our candles are solidified, we visit the laboratory for the export of honey and other beekeeping products where a guided tour and practical use (where possible) of the machines takes place. Finally, visitors will try all batches of honey produced in the last year as well as other beekeeping or processing products such as natural beeswax ointments, soaps with honey and beeswax, etc.

Become A Beekeeper for A Day
2021-07-25, 2021-07-18, 2021-07-11
During the workshop “Become a Beekeeper for a Day” guests watch two short documentaries on life and importance of bees as well as the threats they face, and a brief discussion follows in the Educational Hall. Guests are then prepared to visit the beehives wearing the whole-body beekeeper’s suit available in all sizes to ensure safety from any bee sting. When visiting a nearby apiary we monitor the working bees at work, we identify the one and only queen of bees and observe their organization and products insight the beehives. Depending on the season, various practical manipulations of the beekeeper are carried out for the inspection of hives such as the control of the parasitic varroa mite, the collection of honeycombs, the collection of propolis, the feeding, etc. After the inspection of the hives is finished, we return to the honey extraction and bottling laboratory where a guided tour and practical use (where possible) of the machines takes place. Finally, visitors will try all batches of honey produced in the last year as well as other beekeeping or processing products such as natural beeswax ointments, soaps with honey, etc.

«Agamemnon» by Aeschylus
2021-07-16 21:00 - 2021-08-06 23:00
Aeschylus’ Agamemnon (458 BCE), THOC’s first ever staged production in 1971, is revived this summer as part of the celebrations marking the Organisation’s 50th anniversary. The tragedy, directed by Lea Maleni, is the first drama of the Oresteia, Aeschylus’ only extant trilogy. Deeply political at its core, Agamemnon limns the traces inscribed upon the fate of man by a regime where violence begets violence.
The stage is set in front of the palace of the Atrides, in Argos, where King Agamemnon returns after the end of the Trojan War, with Cassandra, King Priam’s daughter, as a trophy by his side. Clytemnestra will initially welcome him as befits a king, while playing hostess to the foreign woman. Behind this façade lurks a well-devised plan of revenge that culminates when Clytemnestra murders Agamemnon, abetted by her lover, Aegisthus.
The Aeschylian trilogy opens with an abominable act to raise the first poignant, well-timed questions of justice and democracy. Lea Maleni probes into the essence of the play with an accomplished team of actors and associates by her side, as she sets out to touch upon an enduring desideratum in a world of powers and counterpowers that has never given up the strive for equilibrium.

«Shakespeare in a Nutshell»
2021-07-16 20:00 - 2021-07-23 23:59
Dream Theatre Productions presents a site-specific performance adapted from Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield’s play The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged). The play ingeniously joins together some of the British playwright’s greatest works, often daring to even mock some of his gravest tragedies.
Envisioned with a number of alternating roles and characters, the play is infused with improvisation as well as audience interaction and puts forth a radical interpretation of works such as, Romeo and Juliet, Titus Andronicus and Othello, presented through introductions and links that help the guide the audience. Special focus on concise versions of Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra and Macbeth, as well as Hamlet.
The play is set (and will also take place) in an outdoor natural setting, without the help of stereotypical sets, with the participating actors often going beyond the roles they take on. Furthermore, the text is shaped through work done collaboratively not only before, but also, during the show.
The show is centred on movement, directed and enhanced through the music. Movement, music and direction, along with the text of Shakespeare in a Nutshell result in a performance that takes into consideration the natural environment of the communities and the traditions of the villages of Cyprus, within the framework of program Cultural Decentralization 2021.

The Festival’s aim has always been three-fold:

AglanJazz was established by the Municipality of Aglantzia in 2007 in order to showcase local and European jazz musicians. It’s an annual festival, held for two days (usually at the beginning of July), at the Old Square of Aglantzia.
AglanJazz presents diverse jazz expressions, and it hosts 6 bands every year, from various countries.
The Festival has managed, throughout these years, to introduce jazz to the Cypriots, and to encourage people of all age and various backgrounds, to enjoy live performances from talented musicians from around the world, free of charge.
It has gradually become a highly anticipated summertime Festival, by both the Musicians and our loyal fan base, attracting about 4,500 visitors every year.
