As the holiday season approaches, the cultural heartbeat of Paphos - Technopolis 20 - is preparing for a series of events that are sure to ignite the festive spirit in the community. A lineup of music-filled evenings and vibrant artistic mornings is planned to entertain locals and visitors alike.

A Theatrical Music Performance Inspired by Shakespeare

Launching the season’s activities, Technopolis 20 will play host to a unique music theatre concert on Friday. 'The Three Lears', a contemporary performance by the Pythia Trio from Greece, will engage the audience with a narrative inspired by King Lear. The event will explore themes of power, deception, and leadership through an enthralling union of piano music and theatrical elements. Attendees will be treated to an auditory experience combining speech, song, and an array of sound techniques to tell the story of 'King Lear's' three daughters.

The Legacy of Art and Community in the Christmas Market

The 9th annual Christmas Market at Technopolis 20 is another highlight, set to take place shortly afterward. This one-day event will be a showcase for local artisans and community groups, providing a platform for professional creations and volunteer initiatives. Visitors can browse through unique items while enjoying coffee and cake in the serene front garden setting.
