Under the title Egennisamen, the collaboration between sound designer Christos Hadjichristou and performer Lia Haraki, takes us on a journey through the love story of a Cypriot couple. A journey that begins with the couple’s intimacy and ends with its alienation, all seen from the perspective of a woman. This ten-minute sound piece, presented in the Cypriot dialect, is a commentary on Cypriot mentality, often imposing substantial pressure on young couples.
