SUMMARY:The Art of Making

SUMMARY:Staged reading with Nefeli Kentoni
DESCRIPTION:On November 23\, a staged reading directed by Nefeli Kentoni will take place\, organized by the Austrian Embassy and the Goethe-Institut Cyprus. Selected literary texts from the German-speaking world will be performed live on stage. \nLimassol – a city in transition. Gentrification and rapid urban development shape its face\, transforming streets\, houses\, and ways of life. In this reading\, we invite you on a poetic journey through the city’s transformation: its construction\, its destruction\, and the traces it leaves within us. The selected poems and texts reflect the ambivalence of the urban\, between progress and loss\, hope and despair. \nFor this event\, Nefeli Kentoni has engaged deeply with city poems by the German poet Bertolt Brecht and with the work Awakening to the Great Sleep War by the Austrian author Gert Jonke\, combining them into a unique fusion. Let yourself be surprised by this exciting and extraordinary connection! \nDirected by: Nefeli Kentoni\nOn stage: Fatima Rodriguez\, Melina Koutsofta\nModerated by: Androula Kafa\n\nInformation about the texts and Nefeli Kentoni: \nBrecht’s city poems mirror the contradictory experience of the metropolis: they reveal the harshness and desolation of urban life\, yet at the same time\, a glimpse of another future shines through. Amid concrete and despair\, hope persists\, the idea that even from the deepest darkness\, a path to salvation can emerge. \nIn 1982\, the Austrian author Gert Jonke published Awakening to the Great Sleep War\, a virtuoso narrative in which the reality of a city disintegrates. Tram tracks shed their stops\, books flee from libraries\, stone figures detach themselves from facades. For this\, Jonke invents the “acoustic space designer” Burgmüller\, a poetic adventurer who conducts flocks of birds\, loves three women\, and philosophically observes: “Everything has become so transparent that nothing can be seen through anymore.” The work is considered one of the major achievements of the author\, who passed away in 2009. \nNefeli Kentoni (b. 1998\, Cyprus) is a London-based director\, writer\, and interdisciplinary artist whose work responds to the remains of a world that endlessly collapses and endlessly erects. The theatrical and cinematic form have been the platform in which she negotiates and explores the gaps between language and image\, the performer-viewer relationship\, and the performativity of space. Weaving together tenderness\, absurdity\, and humour\, she dismantles reality and rebuilds it within unpredictable landscapes. \nNefeli is a graduate of the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and Central Saint Martins (UAL)\, where she was nominated for the MullenLowe NOVA Award. Her work has been showcased internationally at institutions and festivals including the Prague Quadrennial\, Tate Modern\, Barbican Centre\, Cyprus State Gallery of Contemporary Art\, The Place\, Nicosia International Festival\, Dance House Lefkosia\, and the Chengdu–Chongqing International Theatre Festival\, among others. \nIn 2020\, she served as Writer in Residence at Tate Exchange and took part in the Barbican’s Young Visual Arts Group for two consecutive years. Her short film Fragility of Language won the Screendance Short Film Competition at the 36th Leeds International Film Festival. Her performance Katabasis was a finalist at the Offies Awards 2025 and received the Best Director Award at the Chengdu–Chongqing International Theatre Festival in China\, where her performance Wall of Babel was also honoured with the Best Play Award. \n  \nTake the opportunity to engage with German-language literature. \nWe look forward to seeing you!
