SUMMARY:Greetings from Mars
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Weeks of the German Language\, the Goethe-Institut Cyprus is organizing a screening of the film Greetings from Mars at the Heritage School\, a member of the worldwide network of “Schools: Partners for the Future” (PASCH). \nTom is ten years old\, autistic\, and dreams of becoming an astronaut. He loves clear structures\, hates noise and the color red. When his mother has to travel to China for work\, Tom and his siblings spend the summer holidays with their chaotic grandparents in the countryside. For Tom\, this stay becomes a personal “Mars mission”: he must face unfamiliar situations\, overcome fears\, and learns that the unknown can hold exciting discoveries. The film tells a sensitive and humorous story about family\, being different\, and the courage to grow beyond oneself. \nThe children’s film is based on the novel of the same name by Thomas Möller and Sebastian Grusnick\, published in 2019. The two authors also wrote the screenplay for the adaptation\, which was directed by Sarah Winkenstette. In the leading roles\, Theo Kretschmer stars as Tom\, Lilli Lacher as Nina\, and Anton Noltensmeier as Elmar. The film was celebrated at several festivals and received multiple awards: At the Luxembourg City Film Festival 2025\, Sarah Winkenstette was honored with the Kids’ Jury Award for her direction. At the Goldener Spatz 2024\, Theo Kretschmer was awarded Best Actor. Additionally\, the prestigious White Elephant Award 2025 recognized the film twice in the cinema category – for Best Direction (Sarah Winkenstette) and Best Screenplay (Sebastian Grusnick and Thomas Möller). \nTRAILER: https://youtu.be/5mEoTBVwTso?si=PWVRz8cnAvlwOpc9 \nLanguage: German with English subtitles.

SUMMARY:Die Diplomatin (The Diplomat)

Lanitis Carob Mills\, Limassol\nOn November 22\, German author Lucy Fricke and her translator Theo Votsos will speak about her novel The Diplomat\, at the invitation of the Goethe-Institut. \nIn her novel The Diplomat (Keimena Books)\, Lucy Fricke tells the story of Fred\, a seasoned and ambitious German consul who feels at home everywhere and nowhere—until she experiences her first professional failure in Montevideo. Her reassignment to Istanbul\, amid political tensions\, presents her with the greatest challenge of her career.

Most recently\, she was awarded the Roswitha Prize in 2024\, a German literary award honoring outstanding achievements by women living in Europe.

He is also a freelance editor for various print and online media in the fields of film and literature. \nConstantia Soteriou\, born in Nicosia\, is one of Cyprus’s most prominent contemporary authors. Soteriou’s literary work focuses on Cyprus’s recent history\, particularly the tensions between Greek and Turkish Cypriots and the consequences after 1974. \nTake this opportunity to engage with contemporary German-language literature.

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!
