The festival, organised by ASSITEJ Cyprus, returns with eleven productions from nine countries, along with a rich parallel programme
Following the great success of its inaugural edition, the Mitsikouri International Performing Arts Festival for Children and Young People, organised by ASSITEJ Cyprus, returns under the slogan “DISCOVERING”.
This year, the festival will host eleven performances from nine different countries, aimed at children of all ages. This year’s festival will take place from 11 to 19 October in Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Pafos, and Lefkara.
The festival’s programme includes a wide variety of theatre, dance, music, object theatre, and contemporary circus performances, with the majority of the performances being non-verbal, making them accessible to children of all backgrounds.
The festival also presents a rich parallel programme, to be announced in the coming days, which will include workshops, lectures, seminars, discussions, and other activities. These events are designed for children, parents and guardians, educators, and arts professionals.
A significant aspect of this year’s edition is the collaboration with institutions such as the National Betting Authority and Nicosia Bookfest, as well as with the two candidate cities (Larnaka and Limassol) competing for the title of European Capital of Culture 2030. In addition, all international productions featured in the festival are held under the auspices of the embassies in Cyprus of their respective countries.
