Sardam Festival 2020

8th SARDAM interdisciplinary literature festival

#specialedition #backtotheroots

25 & 27 September 2020

SARDAM festival returns in its eighth edition. Writers-performers and other artists from Cyprus and abroad will be sharing original experiences of writing, reading, as well as innovative presentations/performances of literature, through a variety of events and workshops. Common ground will be the combination of literature and spoken word with traditional and modern means of expression like theatre, technology, slamming, visual arts, sound poetry and so on.

This year’s SARDAM, due to Covid-19, is smaller in size but not in impact, and suggests a symbolic return to the roots of the festival, where everything started, by connecting participants from previous editions with new participants.

This year’s programme is the following:
