Summer Dance Festival – 22nd edition

In its 22nd edition, Nea Kinisi’s Summer Dance Festival once again transforms the streets of Limassol into an open stage for contemporary dance. This year, the festival—a longstanding institution for the city of Limassol and the dance community of Cyprus—shifts its dates, taking place earlier than usual and opening the summer season with three days of performances from May 30th to June 1st, 2025.

Focusing on site-specific creation, the festival invites both established and emerging choreographers to respond to the rhythms, stories, and ever-changing textures of Limassol’s urban landscape. Audiences are invited to wander through the city and encounter live performances in unexpected public spaces and times—in squares, parks, streets, fountains—from late at night until the early morning hours.

Public space is the field where we coexist, intersect, and negotiate our collective presence. The festival becomes an opportunity to observe these spaces anew and reflect on how we share, inhabit, participate in, and remain actively present within them.

This year’s program includes six distinct works, ranging from personal rituals to participatory parties, workshops, and picnics—inviting audiences to move and reflect on space, community, and the body in motion.

Admission is free.
