Residency Programme to bring live events to Nicosia

The Nicosia Municipal Arts Centre this April inaugurates the first Residency Programme for Performing and Live Arts at Theatro Polis OPAP. The programme will present seven artists and artistic groups which were selected through an open call.

The objective of the residency programme is to connect to the city, and present emerging and established artists and artistic groups from the fields of performance and live arts. The programme will focus on hosting and supporting participants during the research period of their proposed project.
