Play by Jean-Paul Sartre

6.10.23 + 13.10.23 @20:00

English speaking theatre play by Aigaia adult drama group
Αγγλόφωνη θεατρική παράσταση από την ομάδα ενηλίκων του θεάτρου Αιγαία

 

Two women and a man in a room. A door and a window but no exit. In this existential masterpiece, Sartre imagines three people in hell, three damned souls trapped in the same room for eternity. They are at each other’s mercy with no hope of an end since they are already dead, tormenting each other with their life lies. In this philosophical one-act play, the author explores several themes like isolation, freedom and confinement, power, courage, suffering and existence. Today, we can relate to many of the central themes and questions of this play through the experience of having been in lockdown because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Whether lockdown or quarantine, we were forced to be in a room we couldn’t leave. Who among us didn’t lose track of time at some point during that period? There are many parallels to the characters in the play, not the least of which is the effort to exercise “social distance” – Sartre’s phrase “Hell is – other people!” from the play resonates.

Δύο γυναίκες και ένας άντρας σε ένα δωμάτιο. Μια πόρτα και ένα παράθυρο, αλλά όχι έξοδος. Σε αυτό το υπαρξιακό αριστούργημα, ο Σαρτρ φαντάζεται τρεις ανθρώπους στην κόλαση, τρεις καταραμένες ψυχές παγιδευμένες για πάντα στο ίδιο δωμάτιο. Εξαρτώνται ο ένας από τον άλλον, χωρίς ελπίδα για το τέλος γιατί είναι ήδη νεκροί, βασανίζοντας ο ένας τον άλλον με τα ψέματα της ζωής. Σε αυτό το φιλοσοφικό μονόπρακτο, ο συγγραφέας θίγει πολλά θέματα όπως η απομόνωση, η ελευθερία και ο περιορισμός, η δύναμη, το θάρρος, τα βάσανα και η ύπαρξη. Σήμερα μπορούμε να ταυτιστούμε με πολλά από τα κεντρικά θέματα και ερωτήματα αυτού του θεατρικού έργου μέσα από την εμπειρία της απομόνωσης λόγω της πανδημίας Covid-19. Είτε ήταν lockdown είτε καραντίνα, αναγκαστήκαμε να μείνουμε σε ένα δωμάτιο που δεν μπορούσαμε να φύγουμε. Ποιος από εμάς δεν έχει χάσει την αίσθηση του χρόνου αυτή την περίοδο; Υπάρχουν πολλές ομοιότητες με τους χαρακτήρες του έργου, μία από τις οποίες είναι η προσπάθεια διατήρησης της «κοινωνικής απόστασης» – Η δήλωση του Σαρτρ: «Η κόλαση είναι – άλλοι άνθρωποι!» αντηχεί από την παράσταση.

Annual Visual Arts Exhibition, Aigaia 2024

3 June, 2024 no responses

Inspiration, creation, contemporary approach, diversity, and evolution embody the annual exhibition of Aigaia School of Art & Design for the academic year 2023-2024, which will be held from June 14 to June 22, 2024.

The exhibition presents samples of students’ work from various levels of study, including the accredited / certified “Visual Arts” program which is exclusively offered by our school in both Greek and English.

The artworks presented in the exhibition, display uniqueness and authenticity, as the primary goal of all our programs is the development of personal visual language. A common factor of all artworks is the respect for Art, with clarity in thought and image.

During the academic year, principles and techniques of the visual arts were taught, laying essential foundations and establishing solid bases for the development of appropriate skills, particularly in fostering a personal visual identity. The themes selected stem from the students’ concerns about contemporary society, daily experiences and personal testimonies. The media used varied according to the desired aesthetics and symbolism, always aiming to keep pace with the contemporary evolutionary course of our times with a futuristic tendency.

The exhibition serves as a professional presentation of our students’ work, both as groups and as individual entities. The high level of education is reflected in the visual messages of the works, which align with the school’s vision to convey the importance of the arts and culture in Cyprus.

In addition to the work of our Higher Education students, the exhibition also presents work created by students of various levels of art exams, portfolios for entrance to fine art, design, media degrees, or work by students that simply aim to enrich their academic qualifications, knowledge and experiences.

OPEN DAYS will be held during the exhibition, enabling visitors to be thoroughly informed about all the programs on offer and to take guided tours of the exhibition and school premises.

The exhibition’s opening will take place on Friday June 14th 2024 at 20:30, at the school’s building, 81 Agion Omologiton Avenue.

Visitors are welcome between Monday and Saturday 14-22 June, during the school’s working hours.

Aigaia School of Art and Design invites you to the Annual Exhibition of its Young Artists, which takes place between the 6th and 30th April 2024.

Wander in between colours, brushstrokes, sculptures, ceramics, paintings, photographs, characters, objects, stories. Children demonstrate creativity in a truthful and unspoiled manner, something essential in finding solutions for today’s challenges.

All our children groups had the opportunity to work in our specialised studios and workshops in rotation, resulting in their experiencing a range of the Art, Design and media pathways. The exhibition reflects their spherical visual understanding, which they have ultimately developed. Our young artists demonstrated their creativity in a truthful and unspoiled manner, something essential in finding solutions for today’s challenges.

Our purpose is always to highlight the importance of the cultural cultivation that unfolds when growing up with the arts as part of everyday life, as well as the appreciation cultivated of the visual arts, as an element of culture. Via the various activities we challenge the children’s awareness, pushing them to spontaneously imprint their surroundings. To express their inner world, to record experiences, moments and encounters, to develop critical thinking, to propose solutions.

During the exhibition, a free educational program will be offered for children in primary education, which can be attended by school classes with their teachers as well as families. 

The educational nature of the exhibition, gives educators and families the opportunity to visit with various age groups and ‘discover’ themes, ideas and meanings, offering an exciting educational experience to children.

Opening Event: Saturday 06th April 2024 @6:00pm
Duration: 06 – 30.4.24

Visual Arts Exhibition at Aigaia

2 – 17 February 2024

Opening: Friday, 2 February @20:00

The exhibition will showcase the final major projects of the second year students of the Visual Arts program at Aigaia School of Art and Design. It is a unique opportunity to discover the variety of artistic expressions that have emerged from the students personal creative journies. Each work is the outcome of an individual and unique creative exploration, showcasing a distinctive viewpoint and artistic expression.

By exploring contemporary art themes in visual arts our second year students engage with subjects reflecting the complexities of our modern world. Themes such as identity, freedom of speech and other political, personal and societal issues become canvases for exploration. The use of multidimensional approaches and interactiveness redefine traditional boundaries, inviting viewers to question and engage actively with the artwork. The students examine cultural shifts, political landscapes and also their personal narratives. This exploration not only emphasises on the spirit of time but also challenges preconceived notions, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. As a result, visual arts reflect contemporary realities and become catalysts for thoughtful discussions and societal self-reflection.

The exhibition will also showcase pieces from the rest of the students and also from adults exploring various art disciplines, materials, and techniques. From experimenting with different mediums to finding their unique artistic language, all students contribute to a dynamic and inclusive display, reflecting the richness of their creative explorations.

The exhibition will open on Friday, 2 February 2024 @20:00, at our premises in 81, Agion Omologiton Str.

The exhibition will be open from Monday – Saturday 2 – 17 February 2024, during school’s working hours.

Anna Alexandrou Art Exhibition, 6-28 May 2023

7 April, 2023 no responses

«A line, some colour, a random path. A journey has just begun! A search for the soul, a world, an image… Various materials becoming one, trying to fit, to write a course, a line… a life. Through my work, I try to express my thoughts, feelings and concerns. For me this is a game of composition, colour, material, emptiness and fullness on a surface. I experiment with different materials, like fabrics, paper, threads, sewing, letters, words, symbols and anything that helps me to visually compose what I am trying to say.» (Anna Alexandrou, 2015)

The exhibition of the visual artist Anna Alexandrou, which will take place from 6-28 May 2023, at aigaia art gallery, aims to reintroduce Anna’s artworks to the public, as an important contemporary visual artist of Cyprus, with a selection from all of her works.

Her work – purely personal – is an illustrated journey of her experiences, which, through various symbolisms, tell her story. Her work is accessible and multi-layered providing both visual satisfaction and a reason for dialogue, something that the creator herself always sought.
