For the third year running, the Cyprus International Theatre Festival returns, bringing world-class performers from across the globe back to our island. This year, our stage is dedicated to the power of the singular voice: a celebration of the strength found in solitude and the clarity of the feminine experience.
The statement "She is here" signifies the arrival of an artist who stands on stage not by chance, but by an internal necessity to speak her truth.
She is here to perform, to question, to disrupt, and to play. We invite the Cyprus public to experience raw, world-class theatre that celebrates the presence and power of women standing on their own.

ABOUT US
The Cyprus International Theater Festival is a platform for contemporary performance, critical dialogue, and artistic exchange. In its first year, CITF brought together international figures such as John Malkovich, Kirill Serebrennikov, Ivan Vyripaev, and Paris Erotokritou.
The second edition welcomed 7,221 spectators to 35 events across Nicosia and Limassol, guided by the curatorial question “Who We Are?” — a journey through identity, vulnerability, and the possibility of healing, with performances by Jan Fabre, Pilobolus, No Gravity, Chulpan Khamatova and Yulia Aug. In the meantime, we welcome you to the CITF Friends Club — a year-round initiative offering intimate performances, lectures, workshops, and informal encounters that continue the festival’s spirit between editions.
