Evgeny Grinko: Conert in Kourion - 6.7.2025
2025-07-06 20:00 - 21:30 (Asia/Nicosia) | Curium Ancient Theatre
Celebrity Gala presents:
For the very first time in Cyprus — Evgeny Grinko’s live performance at the ancient amphitheatre of Kourion!
One evening. One grand piano. A string quartet. And a stage where 2,000 years of history meet the cinematic pulse of neoclassical music.
⠀
Evgeny Grinko, the acclaimed composer and pianist whose music resonates across Europe, will perform in Cyprus for the very first time — as part of his Summer Europe Tour.
His compositions are intimate and magnetic — blending gentle piano with orchestral textures and deep emotional current. Often called the Eastern European Einaudi, Grinko’s sound evokes comparison with Max Richter, Yann Tiersen, and Ólafur Arnalds — yet remains uniquely his own.
On this night, under the stars, his most beloved pieces will be performed surrounded by candlelight and the spellbinding acoustics of the ancient Kourion theatre.
Evgeny Grinko’s first — and possibly only — concert in Cyprus. Capacity is limited — this is an open-air venue with a once-in-a-lifetime atmosphere.

On July 10, the party keeps going with Greek electronica legend Roni Iron, who blends poetic lyrics with deep electronic beats, Berlin-based Penny K with her explosive, genre-bending energy, and Alejjos, the rising star remixing Cyprus’ folklore into bold electronic soundscapes.
Let’s be honest, no street festival is complete without top-tier street food and cocktails that hit just right, because this is summer in the city, and it deserves the full experience.

ζ-η-θ, the Stranger. A return to the sources: a visit to three “Odyssey” rhapsodies - 18-19.7.2025
2025-07-18 21:00 - 2025-07-19 23:00 (Asia/Nicosia) | Amphitheatre Makarios III, School for the blind, 28th October Street, Nicosia, 2012, Cyprus
In the afterglow of two performances that were destined to linger in memory, “NEKYIA”—presented with the Japanese theatre troupe NOH in 2015—and Sophocles’ “Trackers” in 2021, Michail Marmarinos revisits the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus with yet another riveting dramaturgical proposal. Ηere, he orchestrates a return to the sources through a journey to three rhapsodies of the Homeric epic, confirming once more that the endless mystery of oral Storytelling (the cavernous mystery of Theatre itself) can still thrillingly propel us “there, where history is still occurring”.
A stranger – and an “Οίος”, too – as Homer calls him, meaning “all alone” – a wreck of a man after the total wreck of his ship, crushed by his unequal battle with the sea, cast upon a shore…
(Really, does this image remind us of anything from nowdays? Have we caught sight of anything like this – even just a glimpse – anywhere in the world of current affairs all round us?)
Here, on a foreign shore he did not choose, Fate decreed, he should seek and rediscover his body, his face, his name.
Michail Marmarinos

Фестивале Вина в Лемесосе (Лимассоле) - 27.9.-5.10.2025
2025-09-27 19:00 - 2025-10-05 00:00 (Asia/Nicosia) | Limassol Municipal Gardens, Vyronos Ave., Limassol, 3105
Ниже следует описание того, что вы можете увидеть, посетив один вечер Фестиваля Вина.
Фестиваль проходит в муниципальных садах Лемесоса (Лимассола), расположенных в восточной части города, недалеко от моря. Чтобы зайти на Фестиваль, нужно преобрести входной билет у центрального входа в сад. У главного входа на Фестиваль, расположенном на южной стороне, вы увидите гигантскую статую Киприота, деревенского винодела в традиционном местном костюме.
Он является эмблемой Фестиваля Вина с 1961года. С обеих сторон главного входа располагаются павильоны, принадлежащие винодельням Лемесоса (Лимассола), где посетители могут бесплатно отведать все виды вин. Следует подчеркнуть, что все вина, предлагаемые для всех посетителей в неограниченных количествах, предоставляются абсолютно бесплатно с наилучшими пожеланиями от Муниципалитета г. Лемесос (Лимассол).
Каждый вечер около 15 000 посетителей приходят на фестиваль, чтобы насладиться его счастливой и веселой атмосферой, где гости, наслаждаясь пьянящим вкусом кипрского вина и сытными местными блюдами по фиксированным низким ценам, могут развлечься также представлениями танцевальных и песенных коллективов, театральными постановками пьес и комедий, сатирой и юмором.
Одна ночь на Фестивале Вина в Лимассоле – это прекрасная возможность прочувствовать греческие традиции празднования и пиршества в честь бога вина Диониса. Когда-то все жители Аттики, граждане или фермеры, сидели за общим столом, полным всевозможными яствами, который предоставлялся бесплатно государством, пробовали новые вина и участвовали в массовых плясках, пели, читали стихи и смотрели древнегреческие драмы.
Во время этих торжеств некоторым рабам была дарована свобода, в то время как тем, кто еще находился в рабстве, было разрешено вкусить запах свободы, независимости и развлечений. Сейчас, как и тогда, всевозможные кушанья и вино предоставляются абсолютно бесплатно, но уже нет рабов, которых нужно освобождать. Только вы сами можете освободить себя от всех забот, социальных условностей и формальностей, от повседневных нужд и жизненных невзгод.
