ROUTES λ2

Following its premiere at the Nicosia International Festival 2021, Routes λ2 returns to the streets of Nicosia, for a weekend! A bus full of inspiring stories of the LGBTI+ community shall be departing from the Nicosia Municipal Theater for routes around the city.
 
This pioneering theatrical event will take place inside a Cyprus Publilc Transport bus, and the stories told are those of the LGBTI+ community, stories that often remain on the sidelines. The audience is no longer a simple spectator in the theatrical act since it will be an integral part of it, thus inaugurating a new relationship between the spectator and the action.
 
Routes λ2 is based on the theatrical event Routes that took place in March 2019 with stories inspired by the theatrical workshop held within the European program "Perform to Reform" in collaboration with ACCEPT LOATI - Cyprus.
 
Why (λ2):
The Greek letter lambda (λ) was chosen in 1970 to depict the campaign of the Homosexual Activist Alliance for the freedom of homosexuals. Four years later, the International Gay Rights Congress in Scotland chose this symbol for gay and lesbian rights. In physics, lambda is used to represent the wavelength associated with energy and is therefore used to symbolize the energy of the Gay Movement.
