A new photo exhibition called "Peras" is now open. It is part of the International Nicosia Festival. The photos show the feelings of artists who performed at the festival. Visual artist Nikolas Louka created the exhibition. It looks at the big changes artists feel before and after they perform. The exhibition helps us understand the art process.
The International Nicosia Festival ends soon. It will close on Friday, January 9th. There will be a special ceremony at 8:00 PM. This will be at the Nicosia Municipal Theatre. The "Peras" exhibition is also at the theatre. The photos are in many places. You can see them from the entrance to the stage. This helps visitors feel what performers feel.
Louka's photos show artists in special places. These are the times just before and after performing. The "before" photos show artists focusing hard. They might be doing things to get ready. These pictures show the strength artists need. The "after" photos are different. They show how artists feel after they finish. You can see their happiness or tiredness.
The title "Peras" means a crossing or a change. It is the time between one thing ending and another beginning. Louka uses this idea for the festival's end. He also wants to show each artist's personal story. By showing the photos in the theatre, visitors can learn more. They can understand the artists' experiences better.
This exhibition is important for Nikolas Louka. His work is known around the world. "Peras" in Cyprus shows local artists. It is a chance to see Cypriot talent. The exhibition will help people understand the festival. It will show the strong feelings of artists. It is a good way to connect with the people who make art. After the exhibition, there will be a party with a DJ.
