Cyprus Theatre Organisation is involved in the activities of a Roadshow of Performances within the “Theatre in Palm” platform.

In “The Roadshow” each partner from the following countries, presents two performances, throughout the year 2024.

The Roadshow resembles twelve lights glittering, each light lighting up in every partner country at a different time, by presenting two performances each, consecutively.  Performances will not move but create movement by when they light up.  

Preliminary dates and info for the TIP roadshow can be found here

The Call (for selected countries only):

Cyprus Theatre Organisation, invites applications by emerging artists from Cyprus, who wish to be funded to travel, for 3-5 days, to selected destinations, to be part of the Roadshow performance audience, meet the artists, network, engage with the scene, and, upon their return produce a short work/presentation inspired by the visit.

Up to 15 emerging artists will be chosen to enjoy this opportunity to broaden their professional horizons and travel abroad in 2024-2025. Emerging Artists must be Cypriot citizens or residing permanently in Cyprus.
