The composer Larkos Larkou presents the public his musical work of art based upon the poetry of the Cypriot national poet, Vasilis Michaelides. The poems of Vasilis Michaelides are set to music in a fresh and challenging approach beyond the poet's paradigm.

The selections of poems brings to light unknown aspects of the poet's character and life such as, his excellence in the usage of the Cypriot dialect which reaches scholarly qualities and calibre, his humour, the erotic dimension, the theatrical character of his writing as well as his indignation to the difficult life conditions he experiences.
