MAJOR ROAD WORKS

Limassol – Nicosia Motorway

On the Limassol–Nicosia motorway, in both directions—specifically on the section between the GSP roundabout and the junction with the Nicosia–Larnaca motorway—the Department of Forests will carry out periodic plant watering operations on the road shoulders and embankments. These works will take place daily (excluding weekends and public holidays) from Friday, October 2, 2026, to Monday, November 30, 2026, between 08:30 and 14:30. During the operations, sections of the road shoulder will be closed off—approximately 300 meters at a time, per direction. Traffic flow will not be affected.

On the section of the motorway between the Skarinou junction and the Germasogeia junction—in both directions (towards Limassol and towards Nicosia)—work will be carried out on the road shoulder to clean stormwater grates on Saturday, October 17, 2026, and Sunday, October 18, 2026, between 07:00 and 15:00. During the works, the motorway shoulder will be closed in 200-meter sections, while traffic will continue to flow normally along the two motorway lanes.

"What are they hiding from us?" - A dustbin, a bag, and a cardboard box answer

What possibilities do these simple materials hide and how can they be transformed into theatrical creation tools? Can a cardboard box become a boat, a boathouse, a paper monster? And how can a plastic bag become a bird, an owl, even a sea? A dustbin easily transforms into a horse, but what other forms can it take when we let our imagination lead the way?

In this workshop, children aged 7-11 are invited to play, imagine, and create theatrical images, small scenes, and actions together, using these everyday materials that usually end up in the trash when they lose their practical value.

Through games, improvisations, and group exploration, the bags, the countryside, and the coats will live a second life in the hands of children, gaining new forms, roles, and meaning now embedded in the world of theater and play.

Design and Implementation Workshop: Nikoletta Verikou and Elena Pavlidou
