Premiere of “Goodbye,” Lindita
The Nicosia International Festival opens with the production that has captivated audiences and critics around the world. After winning the Silver Lion at the Venice Theater Biennale, Mario Banoussi is coming to Nicosia.
*Goodbye, Lindita, one of the most distinctive theatrical events in contemporary European theater, focuses on a fundamental human experience: the loss of a loved one. Inside a house, a family mourns in silence, until a series of almost transcendent events opens a window onto a world where memory intertwines with imagination and reality with dreams. Drawing inspiration from his personal experiences and memories of Balkan funeral rites, Mario Banoussi, together with a cast of exceptional actors, explores—in solemn silence—an inescapable aspect of existence.
