The audience was impressed by the performance "My Grandmother Kyriakou", which was presented on December 4 at the Nicosia Municipal Theater and is a co-production of the Nicosia International Festival and the Municipality of Paralimni - Deryneia.
This is a play by Andreas Nikolaidis, directed by Kleitos Kleitos, which presents the life of Kyriakou Pelagia not as a biographical narrative, but as a collective memory. The performance revolves around the life and legacy of Kyriakou Pelagia, the woman who emerged as a symbol of Cypriot song and the musical tradition of Cyprus, through the eyes of her granddaughter, Irene Pelagia. The musical direction of the performance was by Irene Pelagia, who participated on stage with the actors Margarita Zachariou and Andreas Tselepos.
In his greeting, the Mayor of Paralimni - Deryneia, Mr. George Nicolettos, stated that the presentation of the performance at the Nicosia Municipal Theatre marks the practical implementation of the memorandum of cooperation with the Nicosia International Festival and Nicosia For Art, laying strong foundations for joint cultural actions.

In conclusion, he underlined that this performance marks the beginning of a substantial and long-term cooperation between the Municipality of Paralimni - Deryneia, the Nicosia International Festival and the Municipality of Nicosia.
