Unlock the Power of Expression: Emotive Masked Play Workshop
‘The Lines and Traces of Identity’ in Larnaca, Cyprus — Theatre and movement lovers, seasoned or curious, are invited to a unique emotive masked play workshop with renowned instructors from Montreal, Canada, as part of the Parallel Events Program of Larnaca Biennale 2025.
This one-of-a-kind workshop introduces participants to the transformative art of masked performance, where movement and presence speak louder than words. Open to all levels and backgrounds, no prior theatre experience is required—only a willingness to explore.
Guided in English, the sessions encourage participants to uncover the hidden emotional language of the body. With masks as both a playful and powerful tool, the workshop helps unlock creativity, spontaneity, and authentic self-expression.
Connecting to the Biennale’s theme “Along Lines and Traces,” the workshop investigates how gestures and movements leave physical and symbolic marks—traces of history, identity, and imagination. Masks, as both concealment and revelation, become abstractions of these lines, embodying the stories we carry and the identities we shape.
