Rialto Theatre unveils September programme of art, film and theatre
Rialto Theatre will begin its new artistic season in September with a digital installation, film screenings and a stage adaptation of To Vouni.
Limassol, Cyprus. Rialto Theatre will return in September following its annual August break, opening its new artistic season with a programme of digital art, cinema, theatre, dance and literature.
Digital art installation
LUX_KILL, a brutalist choreographic intervention by Suzana Phialas, will be presented in the underbelly of the Rialto Theatre on September 4, 5 and 6.
The installation guides visitors from the theatre’s traditional viewing areas into an understage corridor. Deconstructing an Algorithmic Body is displayed across three dismantled monitors and responds to visitors’ presence.
As visitors enter the space, their physical mass overloads the local network, triggering real-time visual distortions and frame-rate collapses on the screens.
The installation will be open from 7pm to 10pm on September 4 and from 6pm on September 5 and 6.
EXPLICIT film initiative
The theatre will also launch EXPLICIT, an initiative intended to revisit and critically reflect on films that have challenged, enraged, intrigued, shocked and inspired audiences.
Its inaugural edition will focus on the work of Lars von Trier. From September 7 to 9, audiences will be able to watch Breaking the Waves, Antichrist, Nymphomaniac, Dancer in the Dark and The House that Jack Built.
The screenings, organised in collaboration with Limassol Cine Club, will include Greek and English subtitles and will be accompanied by a discussion with film professionals on consent, violence and artistic freedom.
Novel adapted for the stage
Louiza Papaloizou’s award-winning novel To Vouni will be brought to the stage in an adaptation directed by Maria Kyriakou.
The production follows the world of Xenis, the daughter and the Swede, in a setting where memory, loss and the search for identity intersect.
