Forbidden stories
A project based on the conflict of 1963-64 between Greek and Turkish Cypriots and the Turkish invasion of 1974. A performance will be created using true stories of solidarity, friendship and love during this period. Forbidden Stories also incorporate folk stories and songs from both communities in order to highlight the rich cultural heritage of Pafos.
The project showcases the framework of prosperity and solidarity between the two communities who shared spaces, thus creating overlapping and connections. Pafos’ history includes countless forbidden stories that were created from the close coexistence of both communities.
A website will be created where both Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots will have the chance to write about their experiences and share common stories and encounters to create a story about the connections of the two communities before and after the war. This platform will build a bridge between the two, finding commonly accepted narratives about solidarity and life on the island.
Directed by Filippos Filippou.
