The Deputy Ministry of Culture expresses its deepest sorrow for the death of Dora Kakouratou, the beloved actress who served the Cypriot revue with great dedication.
Dora Kakouratou was born in Limassol. From her teenage years she participated in performances of the "United Artists" Company and then studied at the Drama School of the National Conservatory in Athens.
Upon her return to Cyprus she participated in performances of the O.Th.A.K. and subsequently began to collaborate with various companies such as the "Laughter Company" of the pioneer Nikos Pantelidis. With the establishment of Dimitris Papadimitris' company, she began a long collaboration with the great playwright and satirical author, staging successful revues.
Soon, Dora Kakouratou created her own company and was the first Cypriot actress to venture into this venture. The success of her troupe's performances was so great and the turnout so massive that in several cases even the intervention of the police was needed. In 1986 she staged Aristophanes' Lysistrata with her troupe, with her in the leading role. She embodied roles that made history and starred in successful series such as "Madaris' Downstairs", "The Three Graces", "Tales of the Village", "Aya Fuxia" and others.
Dora Kakouratou stood out for her brilliant humor and self-sarcasm but above all for her source and endless talent. We will always remember her for the countless moments of laughter and entertainment she so generously offered us on stage and on screen.
