Polis Loizou tells "Island of Love"

This is his most intimate and personal creation yet – a blend of mythology, folklore, history and biographical storytelling that explores his identity, his family and their complex motherland.

 

Beginning with the birth of the country’s infamous goddess, Aphrodite, the show takes the audience on a journey of  love, desire, sexuality… and war. From tales of intercommunal romance and bridal kidnappings to fatness and French nutriotionists, Byzantine heroes and conversion therapy to nationalism and division, the various facets of Cyprus and its people are revealed.
