Rialto theatre: Outdoor Cinema Experience

As the summer sun sets, the SEK parking area behind the theatre will transform into an open-air cinema, showcasing award-winning and independent films subtitled in Greek and English. The cinematic journey begins on September 5 with a special screening of the French film The Marching Band, which clinched the Best Comedy Award from the European Film Academy. This poignant narrative follows two brothers, separated by fate but reunited through the power of music.

Following the launch, film enthusiasts can look forward to a series of captivating screenings. On September 7, the award-winning Italian film There’s Still Tomorrow will take the spotlight, followed by the Greek film Kyuka: Before Summer’s End on September 9. The cinematic offerings continue with The Mohican on September 10 and conclude with Dog on Trial on September 12.

Theatre Takes Centre Stage

Shifting from film to theatre, on September 14, the Rialto Theatre will host the heartwarming Cypriot production of Franz Kafka’s Doll. Directed by Kostas Silvestros with dramaturgy by Stavros Stavrou, this touching play is based on a true story about Kafka and a little girl who lost her doll. The production is designed to resonate with audiences of all ages through music, letters, and a universal language that transcends barriers.

A Night of Music and Inspiration

The following night, world-renowned guitarist Hernan Romero will grace the stage, accompanied by a talented ensemble of international and local musicians, as well as esteemed tango champions. This performance promises to be a captivating display of passion and energy. Just two days later, on September 17, the theatre will welcome Elio D’Anna, a best-selling author and philosopher, for a thought-provoking event. D’Anna, known for his book The School for Gods, will share his insights on leadership and the power of dreaming, with presentations in English and simultaneous translations available.
