OTHER INITIATIVES

INBETWEENING, the art of exchange project, was co-organized by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute and Dance House Lemesos as part of the international cultural program of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2025. The project was supported by: Rialto Theatre, Limassol Municipality, Nea Kinisi, Department of Antiquities The straight-line distance between Cyprus and Poland is 2184 kilometers, and while Archimedes claimed the straight line is the shortest path between two points, it often feels much further. Humans, especially artists, rarely take the direct route. We tend to follow more meandering paths, trusting that each step reveals new ways forward. What if we disregarded the linear distance between our countries and explored the infinitely rich space in-between? What if changing how we perceive and relate to each other, beyond what we already know, helps us uncover hidden areas that could bring us closer together? What if we expanded those connections? Let’s celebrate this encounter by engaging in a practice of INBETWEENING—sharing dances, ideas on dance-making, and creating spaces for dance. Let’s celebrate the art of choreography that explores and strengthens the connections between bodies and minds, rendering distance irrelevant.
