Rooms Full of Clouds

26-28 July 2005, 21:00

By the courtyard of the Hamam, next to the Municipal Market of Lemeso's old town

Four rooms, four stages, four passages.

A ritual of cleansing and healing, repeated four times.

Rosemary for the dead, mint for the living, geranium against hatred, jasmin for love.

Four groups of various people from different communities living in Cyprus, dance in four different hamams all over Cyprus aiming for a shared space that goes beyond the notion of north and south.

Their dances will be seen on film, projected on a wall outside the Lemeso's hamam and will be counterpointed by a live solo dance performance from the dancer, Athena Piki.

Tow musicians, the Greek Cypriot musician Larkos Larkou and the Turkish Cypriot singer Jelish Senol will improvise live.
