Versus Theatre Criticizes Non-Funding as 'Conscious Political Choice'

Versus Theatre accuses the government authorities of a conscious political choice not to fund the theatre, along with the ROH Theatre of Larnaca, under the THYMELI scheme. Versus Theatre emphasizes that the ROH Theatre is the only operating theatre in Larnaca, a city that has been declared the European Capital of Culture 2030, and its non-funding is particularly revealing and provocative. They believe that the non-funding is part of a mechanism that rewards compliance and punishes independence.
