The Department of Modern and Contemporary Culture of the Ministry of State for Culture announces the implementation of the Cultural Decentralization Programme 2023 during the months of May - September 2023. The Programme includes a panorama of cultural activities with events related to contemporary dance, theatre and music.
The Programme aims to promote and implement quality cultural activities in communities across Cyprus. In particular, the implementation of the "Cultural Decentralization" Programme aims to promote, cultivate and disseminate culture and provide opportunities for acquaintance, understanding, participation and creation to the widest possible layers of the countryside, to encourage the mobility of artists and other cultural professionals and their artistic work and, finally, to shape artistic perception and aesthetics both from the position of the creator and the position of the spectator.
This year's rich programme of Cultural Decentralisation travels to more than 40 communities in rural Cyprus, presenting 12 productions, which include theatre performances, concerts and dance performances:
