Description

This colourful and peaceful event, involves women frame drummers from both sides of Nicosia, the last divided city in Europe. The rhythmic sound procession starting in Eleftheria Square, via Ledra Street and Phaneromeni Square to Ayia Sophia Cathedral (Semiliye Camii) and back via Phaneromeni Square commemorates the moment in November 1989 when the Berlin Wall came down uniting the people of Germany.

Route of the rhythmic sound procession Eleftheria Square, Ledra Street
Buyuk Han, Ayia Sophia Cathedral (Semiliye Camii), Phaneromeni Square.

The procession celebrates the power of friendship, understanding and communication between women using the ancient tool of rhythmic drumming and the positive anticipation of the day when our own dividing wall will fall.
