Animation, performance and live art come together to paint a dream like picture that is hilarious, heartbreaking and (mostly) true. Aphrodite’s Refugees is a story about survival and resilience in the face of indifference. As the Greek gods play a high stakes card game, 4 refugees describe fleeing from their war-torn home, the Island of Cyprus, aka: Aphrodite’s Island.
Co-creator Monica Dionysiou developed the humanizing stories from interviews with her direct family members, who became refugees in 1974 during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. As the characters recall youthful memories and frightening escapes, visual artist Aaron Young paints a landscape of memories behind them.
