STORY PICK + MIX is a series of wild tales for willing ears in the heart of London, curated by The House of Rumour in cahoots with the Crick Crack Club. These are rough cuts of new work, upcoming voices, and experimental performances that we didn't quite know what to do with...Cyprus. Birthplace of Aphrodite. An island of beauty, divided by war.
Award-winning theatre-maker and storyteller Polis Loizou presents an intimate show, weaving mythology, biography and folklore to explore his identity, family and complex motherland.
Beginning with the birth of the country’s infamous goddess, ‘Island of Love’ takes the audience on a journey of love, desire, sexuality… and war. From tales of arranged marriage and bridal kidnappings to fatness and French nutriotionists, holy houses and conversion therapy to nationalism and division, the various faces of Cyprus are revealed.
