"Brandy Sour", by Constantia Soteriou - Tickets Free
2024-09-24 06:30 | Owl Bookshop, Kentish Town, 207-209 Kentish Town Rd, London, https://owlbookshop.co.uk/, NW5 2JU, United Kingdom
BOOK
A poignant tale of a hotel and its guests – and also the story of modern Cyprus and its civil war
BRANDY SOUR is a moving, original, and playful novel set in the first luxury hotel in the
Middle East, the Ledra Palace Hotel in Nicosia. Situated in the middle of what became the Green Line dividing North and South, it went from an iconic symbol of Cypriot modernisation to the site of conflicts during the Civil War and finally the UN headquarters building in the war’s aftermath. It’s bedrooms, glamorous public spaces and lush gardens are the setting for this tale of modern Cypriot history through different characters staying through time, and their favourite drinks. We meet the Egyptian king Farouk in exile who needs to drown his sorrows with a drink disguised to look like tea, the Turkish porter who can’t do without the ayran that he found on the wrong side of the Green Line, the UN ambassador who drinks lemonade in a crisis and the cleaning lady who only needs her holy water. These characters are the sometimes brave, sometimes terrified, often reluctant actors in history and witnesses of the violence that characterised the second half of the twentieth century in Cyprus. BRANDY SOUR won the 2023 National Book Prize in Cyprus and Constantia Soteriou won the 2019 Commonwealth Short Story Prize.

Her short stories have been translated into English, Italian, Danish, Turkish, Serbian, and Ukrainian, among other languages. Her short stories have appeared on BBC Radio 4 to celebrate the
10th anniversary of the Commonwealth Short Story Prize.

Embryo Larva Butterfly opens the UK CYPRUS FILM FESTIVAL 2025 at Cyprus House, London
2025-05-12 18:00 - 20:00 | Cyprus House, 13 Saint James's Square, London, SW1Y 4LB
We are delighted to announce that the UK CYPRUS FILM FESTIVAL 2025 will open with the critically acclaimed feature film Embryo Larva Butterfly, written and directed by Kyros Papavassiliou. This special screening will take place at Cyprus House, London, on Monday 12 May 2025, marking the official launch of this year’s festival.

The evening begins at 6:00 PM, as doors open with a screening of a selection of short films from The Myths of Cyprus, directed by Mark Kassinos and produced by the Press and Information Office of Cyprus. These short films, inspired by the island’s rich mythology and storytelling tradition, offer audiences an evocative glimpse into the legends and cultural heritage of Cyprus.

At 7:00 PM, we will present Embryo Larva Butterfly (2023), a thought-provoking, metaphysical love story that explores the fragile boundaries between time, memory, and identity. Set in a world where time shifts unpredictably, the film follows a couple as their relationship is tested by changing memories of the past, present, and future. Premiering at the 57th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in 2023, the film has since captivated audiences at major festivals worldwide.

The evening will conclude with a Q&A session with director Kyros Papavassiliou at 8:35 PM, offering audiences the opportunity to hear firsthand about the film’s creative journey, its surreal narrative world, and the director’s reflections on time, love, and identity.

Embryo Larva Butterfly is produced by AMP Filmworks (Cyprus) in co-production with Graal (Greece), with the support of the Deputy Ministry of Culture of Cyprus, the Greek Film Centre, ERT, and Creative Europe.

Admission is free, but booking is essential. We warmly invite you to join us for this opening event and celebrate contemporary Cypriot cinema in London.

Relocations [Μετακομίσεις] - Day Visit Tickets & Artist-Led Curated Tours

Day Visit Tickets | Cyprus House, 13 St. James’s Square, London SW1Y 4LB Open Monday–Friday | 10:00 AM–3:00 PM (last entry) Final day: Wednesday 12 June 2025Extended evening hours on Tuesday 11 June until 7:00 PM

Step inside a world of richly layered narratives, personal mythologies, and emotional landscapes with RELOCATIONS [ΜΕΤΑΚΟΜΙΣΕΙΣ], a compelling solo exhibition by Zenon Jepras, presented at Cyprus House in London.

Whether you missed the opening or simply want time and space to immerse yourself in the paintings, these day tickets allow you to experience the exhibition in a quieter setting.

Born in Wales to Greek parents from Cyprus and Corfu, Zenon Jepras draws on themes of memory, displacement, identity, and resilience. His large-scale works trace a journey that began with a family road trip in the summer of 1974 — the same summer Cyprus was invaded — carrying with them not only belongings, but layers of emotional and historical resonance.

Each painting is an act of unpacking — stories told through colour, form and texture, reflecting both personal and collective experience.

Whether you are interested in contemporary art, diasporic narratives, or Mediterranean histories, RELOCATIONS is a moving and thought-provoking exhibition that speaks to our times.

Admission is free, but booking is recommended to help manage visitor flow.

Artist-Led Curated Tours

Selected Weekdays | 1:00–2:00 PM | May 21 – June 12, 2025 Free entry – registration required

Join artist Zenon Jepras for a unique, guided experience through his exhibition RELOCATIONS [ΜΕΤΑΚΟΜΙΣΕΙΣ]. These tours offer an opportunity to explore the work in conversation with the artist, who will share the personal, historical, and symbolic layers embedded in each painting.

Drawing from his own journey — from a family road trip in the summer of 1974 to the broader themes of exile, memory, and belonging — Jepras offers insight into the visual language and emotional textures that shape his work. These intimate sessions allow audiences to engage more deeply with the themes of the exhibition and understand how personal and collective histories intersect on canvas.

Tours are informal and conversational, allowing for questions and discussion throughout. Whether you’re familiar with Jepras’ work or discovering it for the first time, these guided visits promise to enrich your experience of the exhibition.

Spaces are limited. Early booking is recommended.

Letters to Freedom / Γράμματα εἰς Ἐλευθερίαν
2025-07-03 19:00 - 20:00 | Greek Cypriot Brotherhood Building, 1 Britannia Road, London, N12 9RU, United Kingdom
A theatrical monologue in Greek with English supertitles

Three performances across the UK – Summer 2025

A woman enters the stage holding letters written long ago — the final words of young Cypriots sentenced to die during the 1955–1959 EOKA struggle for liberation. Yet these letters speak not of death, but of life. Of love for mothers, for children, for homeland. Of freedom — not as a symbol, but as something worth becoming.

Letters to Freedom is a poetic and moving theatrical monologue built on authentic farewell letters, testimonies and poems. As each letter is read, the woman — once a simple messenger — is transformed. On stage, memory becomes presence. Stillness becomes ritual. And through her, Freedom finds its voice.

Presented by the Cultural Section of the Cyprus High Commission in collaboration with the National Federation of Cypriots in the UK
