Rivers - A Site Responsive Poetic Performance

Rivers
A site-responsive poetic performance

Sunday 5 July 2026 | 6:00-8:00pm
St James’s Square Garden, London

Join us for the closing event of the Cyprus High Commission’s Cultural Season 2026 (first half) in London an immersive, site-responsive performance unfolding within the unique setting of St James’s Square Garden.

In this specially conceived outdoor work, writer Costas Mannouris, director Petros Charalambous, and visual creator Eugene Gabriel present Rivers a living, breathing ecosystem where words, images, and performance converge.

Set within the quiet landscape of the park, the work invites audiences to move through a poetic environment where memory and loss take shape. Texts appear across the space, encounters unfold gradually, and the experience becomes one of reflection and presence.

“An experience that invites us to pause,
to listen,
and to remember.”

Like rivers surrendered to the open sea, the work reflects on what passes through us words, moments, emotions and what remains.
