Description

The University of Cyprus and the Embassy of Spain present the award winning play of Alberto Conejero "The Dark Stone", directed by Konstantinos Aspiotis, for two performances on the 24th of September.

Two men have been captured and imprisoned by the Spanish rebels and are destined to spend the last years of their lives together.

Sat in a room in a military hospital near Santander, these complete strangers are forced to share the terrible hours of a countdown that may end, at dawn, with the death of one of them as one name reverberates around the room, Federico García Lorca.

The work is inspired by the life of Rafael Rodríguez Rapún, a student and secretary of Lorca’s theatre group.

This dark and gritty piece delves deep into the Spanish psyche and resonates with the rooted hang-ups still experienced today from the Civil War.

The play is performed in Greek.
