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

Creative Pathways: A Conversation with Alexander Tofalides
2025-10-08 19:00 - 21:00 | High Commission of the Republic of Cyprus in the UK, 13 St James' Square, London, SW1Y 4LB, United Kingdom
Join us for a compelling evening with Alexander Tofalides, the first-ever fencer to represent Cyprus at the Olympic Games, as part of our Creative Pathways series celebrating Cypriots excelling across disciplines in the UK.
In this live Q&A, Alexander will reflect on his extraordinary 20-year journey to the Olympic stage — from his beginnings in London’s fencing circles, through years of setbacks and reinvention, to achieving his dream of competing at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The discussion will explore his approach to resilience, mental performance under pressure, and the power of identity, preparation, and inner narrative in overcoming adversity.
Drawing on insights from his career as both an athlete and a public speaker, Alexander will speak candidly about the personal and professional choices that shaped his path — including the decision to represent Cyprus, the psychological tools that helped him through loss and failure, and his ongoing preparations for Los Angeles 2028.
Alexander Tofalides regularly delivers talks and workshops across the UK and internationally in English, Greek, Arabic, Spanish, and French. His story is one of perseverance, discipline, and determination — and this conversation offers a unique window into the mindset of someone who has learned to perform when it truly matters.
This event is organised by the Cultural Section of the Cyprus High Commission in the UK in collaboration with NEPOMAK UK.
A drinks reception will follow the discussion.

Walking through the Kingdom of Salamis – A Presentation by Anna Marangou
2025-10-15 19:00 - 21:00 | High Commission of the Republic of Cyprus in the UK, 13 St James' Square, London, SW1Y 4LB, United Kingdom
Join us for an unforgettable evening of history, memory, and storytelling.

Celebrated archaeologist and art historian Anna Marangou presents her latest work, the evocative trilogy Walking through the Kingdom of Salamis, brought to life through the photographic projections of Petros Fiakkas. The event will feature reflections from Dr. Yiannis Toumazis, Director of the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation and former Deputy Minister of Culture.
Spanning thirty-seven centuries of Cypriot history — from prehistoric Enkomi and glorious Salamis to Hellenistic Arsinoe, Byzantine Constantia, and the vibrant 20th-century city of Varosha — this deeply personal work is a tribute to a land steeped in memory. More than a historical account, the trilogy is an emotional journey, a folk historiography and an elegy for Famagusta. It is a blue box of stories, images, and remembrance — a call to preserve the soul of a place that refuses to be forgotten.
As Anna Komnena wrote in 1148: “The word of History becomes a mighty barrier against the currents of time.”
We look forward to welcoming you to this inspiring evening of words, images, and shared memory.

Cyprus from Within: Patterns of Trade and Connectivity in the Late Bronze Age
2025-12-02 19:00 - 22:30 | The Hellenic Centre, 16-18 Paddington Street, London, W1U 5AS, United Kingdom
Celebrated since antiquity as the “island of copper”, Cyprus holds an integral part in prehistoric Mediterranean connectivity, due to its strategic location and wealth in copper resources during the 2nd millennium BC. This period saw the emergence of complex socio-political structures on the island, alongside the development of systematic commercial and cultural links with neighbouring regions.
The lecture offers new insights into the resilience and adaptability of the island’s communities, as they shaped, maintained, and redefined commercial and cross-cultural encounters in times of both stability and upheaval.

UNSETTLED – a live documentary performance by Argyro Nicolaou
2025-12-09 19:00 - 21:00 | High Commission of the Republic of Cyprus in the UK, 13 St James' Square, London, SW1Y 4LB, United Kingdom
In UNSETTLED, filmmaker and writer Argyro Nicolaou presents a one-hour live documentary performance combining still and moving images to explore displacement, intergenerational memory, and the unresolved history of Cyprus.

The performance centres on the town of Varosha on the island’s eastern coast, where Nicolaou’s mother grew up. After the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, Varosha was fenced off and abandoned, turning into a “ghost town” for over four decades. In 2006, a family member secretly entered the area and recovered a childhood diary belonging to Nicolaou’s mother — offering the artist a rare glimpse into a life interrupted by conflict.

In October 2020, Varosha was partially reopened, allowing Nicolaou and her mother to visit together for the first time. UNSETTLED weaves personal narrative with political history to trace the contours of memory, loss, and return.

This performance is part of Nicolaou’s larger documentary project Unsettled (My Sea), currently in production.
