TRACKS: From Stone to Concrete is a musical and audiovisual performance that traces a journey from historic Nicosia, shaped by stone, to contemporary Limassol, defined by concrete. The title refers both to the limestone walls and stone-built neighbourhoods of Nicosia’s old town and to the modern buildings and rapid urban development of coastal Limassol. The tracks become traces of memory and experience, connecting two distinct urban landscapes and different moments in Cyprus’s history.
The performance draws inspiration from the spontaneous freestyle rap cyphers that emerged in Faneromeni Square from 2016 onwards, where the Cypriot dialect evolved from everyday speech into a medium of contemporary poetic expression. Through spoken word, rap and live music featuring clarinet and percussion, the work creates a dialogue between tradition and contemporary urban culture.
The music is accompanied by dynamic visuals incorporating processed imagery from Nicosia and Limassol, transforming the space into a multisensory environment. Young Cypriot musicians, MCs and visual artists come together to present a contemporary mapping of Cyprus’s rap scene and the stories shaping its urban landscape today.
