Six Recommendations for Summer Movie Theaters, Music, and Festivals
This week is also packed with festivals and events inviting us to villages and cities. Let’s see where we can go from today, Sunday, through next Saturday.
“From Mouth to Mouth – The Rose Fairy Tale”
A two-hour experiential storytelling workshop for children and adults, centered on the Cypriot fairy tale “The Rose Girl.” The first stop is the Marathasa House. Through storytelling, music, song, dance, drama, creative writing, and visual arts, participants will explore the Cypriot oral tradition in a creative and interactive way. At the same time, they will compose tsia-tsia songs, create soundscapes, and breathe new life into the stories through their own creative expression.
