The late Kyiakou Pelagia is a figure Cyprus knows well. Her unexpected fame in her sixties, her passion for Cypriot tradition and songs such as Eipa sou Xtenistou Lio, have all left a mark on the island’s cultural scene. Now her granddaughter Irene brings the story back to life with the documentary theatre performance I Yiayia mou I Kyriakou (My Grandmother Kyriakou), an innovative production that blends contemporaneity with tradition.
