Notable Performances of 2025 in Cypriot Theatre

The year 2025 emerged as a particularly creative and high-quality period for Cypriot theatre, despite the challenges facing the industry. The theatrical production was diverse, covering both classic and contemporary repertoire, with works by Cypriot and international playwrights. One of the standout performances was Samuel Bobrick's “Hamlet B’”, translated and directed by Leandros Taliotis by the DENTRO Theatre and the YPOGAIA Cultural Organization. This production didn't limit itself to a simple comedic version of the original work, but explored the boundary between farce and parody, subverting conventional forms of representation and highlighting social tensions. Another noteworthy performance was “Recipe for Misery” by the Korniza Theatre Group, based on Paul Watzlawick's book. This performance, with its ironic and sarcastic approach, analyzed the mechanisms by which people sabotage their own happiness. These performances, among others, significantly contributed to the artistic dialogue of the era, offering new approaches and interpretations of both classic and contemporary works. The quality of the productions and the creativity of the artists showcase the dynamism of Cypriot theatre.
