The play Michael Kohlhaas by Heinrich von Kleist, directed by Boris Liješević, will be performed at the Internation Festival in Nicosia (Republic of Cyprus) on Saturday, 15th November.
The festival in Nicosia, which lasts from 18th September to 30th December includes a series of events, such as theatre productions, exhibitions and concerts, and is organized by the city in cooperation with the organization Nicosia for Art, with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Cyprus.
The aim is to provide the audience with a space for encounters with artists and cultural institutions from throughout the world, whose artistic output both inspires and connects. The idea implies building a community through diverse programs, the community which cherishes acceptance, understanding, and inclusion – irrespective of nationality, age, sex, skin colour, religion or sexual orientation. The organizers believe that culture is the bridge connecting differences; therefore, freedom is celebrated in all its forms every year. So far, among others, the following plays have been performed at the Festival: Hamlet, by Thomas Ostermeier Schaubühne Theatre, Berlin; The Little Prince, produced by Broadway Entertainment Group, two shows of the legendary German choreographer Pina Bausch, and the play Catarina and the Beauty of Killing Fascists of the National Theatre of Lisbon, directed by Tiago Rodrigues, produced by the Festival in Avignon.
The play Michael Kohlhaas has also been performed at the festivals in Budva, Sarajevo, Vršac, Užice, Požarevac, Niš, and Brčko.
