Out of Necessity

Following a run of 37 sold-out shows, Out of Necessity returns on Rialto’s stage for only two performances.

In search of identity, Out of Necessity is a devised theatre performance that has its starting point at the Constitution of the Republic of Cyprus. To what extent has this fundamental document defined, and continues to define, our identity? How was the ‘Doctrine of Necessity’, temporarily implemented in 1964, converted into ‘permanent necessity’? How can an ‘escape clause’ determine the way we, Cypriot citizens, see life in general? How has this affected our daily life?
