On 25 August 2026, the Municipality of Strovolos brings one of the season's most charming family events to Nicosia as part of its ongoing cultural series 'Πολιτισμός σε κάθε γειτονιά του Στροβόλου 2026'. The production in question is 'Μα πού πάνε τα μπαλόνια;' — or 'Where Do the Balloons Go?' — staged by the theatre company ΘέαμArt and offered entirely free of charge to all attendees.
The show is adapted from the children's story by Κατρίνα Τσάνταλη and follows a young girl named Anna as she plans an extraordinary surprise party for her friend. Along the way, the narrative gently raises the question of what actually happens to balloons once they float away — a disarmingly simple premise that opens a conversation about environmental responsibility without ever feeling didactic.
Designed for children aged 2 and above, the performance is built around interaction rather than passive watching. Original music, comedy and direct engagement with the audience keep even the youngest children absorbed, while parents will find the ecological undercurrent genuinely thought-provoking. The format is the kind that turns a neighbourhood square into a shared experience rather than a conventional stage event.
With free admission and a setting rooted in community life, this is an ideal summer evening outing for families visiting or living in Nicosia. The combination of storytelling, live performance and an accessible ecological message makes it one of the more purposeful entries on the city's August calendar.
