Take a journey across time with Rialto Theatre

A different kind of walk is taking place this weekend in Limassol. A journey across time, an imprint of memory, an experience of sound and visual images will unfold on Friday and Sunday as conceived by Maria Varnakkidou and Konstantina Andreou in the framework of Rialto’s Associate Artist programme and within the activities of the Limassol Art Walks.

The event will be an interactive soundwalk around and across Heroes’ Square, dedicated to those people who lived it, are currently living it, and who will experience it in the future. Stories from the past, monuments, and buildings that have been changing over the course of time will be explored, as well as a glance at the future of the Square.

The first soundwalk will take place on Friday 21 at 5pm and then again on Sunday 23 at 11am and 5pm. The Rialto Theatre becomes the protagonist through the walk as a theatre that has been shaping cultural identity and constitutes a significant chapter of the emblematic Heroes’ Square.

Those interested in joining should register soon (7777-7745) and arrive in comfortable shoes and a fully charged smartphone as they will be needed to follow the walk. Participants will be asked to download the Echoes app and have with them a pair of headphones to use throughout the walk.

Several other events and exhibitions fall within the first annual Limassol Art Walks that takes place this weekend in the heart of the old city. Limassol Art Walks seeks to highlight the cultural fermentation that is taking place in Limassol by bringing together a series of contemporary art spaces, local cultural institutions and public artwork initiatives.

With 14 participating spaces, institutions, and projects, the public programme will include exhibitions, performances, screenings, open studios, artist talks, and guided tours. Engaging with the past and present of Limassol’s historic centre, the programme will unveil multiple cultural happenings woven into the fabric of the city.
