Digital archive of theater critic Nona Moleski to be presented in Limassol

On October 19, 2026, the Limassol Municipal University Library will host an event presenting the digitized archive of theater critic Nona Moleski (1956-2023). The presentation honors Moleski's significant contribution to documenting Cyprus's theatrical life, with the scientific curation led by Dr. Andri H. Constantinou from Frederick University.

Moleski, born in Armenia and educated in Moscow, resided in Cyprus from 1982. She began her critical writing career in 1987 with the newspaper Embros, later contributing to Phileleftheros from 1991 to 2022. Her family donated the original physical collection to the Cyprus University of Technology (TEPAK) Library in early 2024. The collection comprises approximately 1,200 items, primarily newspaper clippings of her critiques, which have now been digitized and documented by the university's digitization office to ensure public and research access.

The event serves as a tribute to Moleski's three decades of theatrical commentary, offering a comprehensive look at the evolution of Cypriot theater. The archives provide a vital record of the local arts scene, with the current project successfully preserving and organizing over 1,100 of her primary critical notes, alongside additional relevant publications discovered during the documentation process.
