Sorrow at THOK and ITI Cyprus for the Death of Kostas Kavkaridis

The Theatre Organisation of Cyprus (THOK) and the Cyprus Centre of the International Theatre Institute (ITI Cyprus) expressed their deep sorrow for the death of Kostas Kavkaridis, a charismatic painter, scenographer and costume designer. Kavkaridis was an art teacher and made significant contributions to the development of Cypriot theatre and the visual arts, with a long collaboration with the Turkish Cypriot Municipal Theatre of Nicosia. He had worked as a scenographer and costume designer in many THOK productions, and authored books on art history and technical drawing. His loss is mourned by the artistic community of Cyprus.
