kept the tempo and pulse for peace and fun under the leadership of Greek<br />

percussionist Stefanos Agiopoulos and Turkish musician from Anatolian Folk<br />

Dance Society- AFDAG Nevzat Akkaya. The participants also invited Villagers of<br />

Kayaköy to join them to the rhythms of peace percussion session as the village<br />

All during the festival, Vicku and Eugenia Koliatsou from Greece provided<br />

Sirtaki and Zeybek moves to the KayaFest participants, the traditional folk<br />

dances of Aegean region to strengthen the bridges between two cultures.<br />

10. BOARD PAINTING<br />

KayaFest participants used a large white board located at the Church wall and<br />

they painted themselves and their feelings with colours on the board. They left<br />

their distinctive signature to Kayaköy by painting the boards with the materials<br />

given and the help of leaders from art–schools. At the end, they created a<br />

magnificent collage work, which was exhibited to all Festival participants and<br />

villagers. The owners of this work of art decided to leave this piece of art to<br />

the village. The board is still open for exhibition in Kayaköy-Levissi at Ottoman<br />

Night at the place of”to Faruk Abi”.<br />

11. OPEN AIR DOCUMENTARY AND MOVIE SESSIONS<br />

Two nights of the festival were reserved for the movie and documentary shows<br />

from both coasts of the Aegean Sea. Accompanied by a nice summer breeze,<br />

in open-air area surrounded by stone Kaya houses and illuminated by magical<br />

dancing colours, Turkish and Greek participants and all Kaya villagers watched<br />

the films and documentaries on population exchange, Turkish - Greek cultures<br />

and stereotypes in Kayaköy-Levissi. It was striking to see the villagers who saw<br />

their parents and grand parents on screen in the documentaries. Watching<br />

Kayaköy-Levissi documentaries on the big screen IN the middle of village<br />

itself- where one can see, feel and touch the stone houses- evoked immense<br />

emotions.<br />

”In this city, the eyes of the houses are all empty<br />

People have no pupils.<br />

The houses are dead, houses are blind...<br />

Stoves in gardens remained all black.<br />

No smoke is rising from the houses.<br />

No sound of foot steps in streets, no sound of children.<br />

No hymns coming behind the fence<br />

Time has stopped...”<br />
