Rivers: A site-responsive poetic performance
2026-07-05 18:00 - 20:00 UTC | High Commission of the Republic of Cyprus in the UK, 13 St James' Square, London, SW1Y 4LB, United Kingdom
The Cultural Section of the Cyprus High Commission in London invites you to the closing event of its Cultural Season 2026 (first half) — an immersive, site-responsive performance unfolding within the intimate landscape of St James’s Square Garden.

Conceived by writer Costas Mannouris, director Petros Charalambous, and visual creator Eugene Gabriel, Rivers transforms the park into a living poetic environment. Through a careful interplay of text, image, performance, and spatial experience, the work invites audiences to move through the space and encounter fragments of memory as they surface, dissolve, and reappear.

Installed across the garden, poems emerge as quiet markers within the landscape, guiding visitors through a reflective journey shaped by presence and absence. The performance unfolds gradually, without a fixed point of view, encouraging a personal and contemplative engagement with the work.

At its core, Rivers reflects on the transient nature of memory — on words once spoken, emotions once felt, and moments that pass through us, often leaving only traces behind. Like rivers that flow irreversibly towards the open sea, these fragments resist containment, yet continue to shape our inner landscapes.

An experience that invites us to pause,to listen,and to remember.
