A REFUGEE SINGS WORLD SONGS Cabaret -- Note this is an archived listing for performances in the year 2018 -- Written & Directed By: Loucas Loizou Talented SA singer-songwriter Loucas Loizou shares his experiences as a Greek-Cypriot refugee in his 2018 Adelaide Fringe show, A Refugee Sings the World Songs. The show starts with the story of a boy who lived in a village in Cyprus with his parents and his brothers and sisters. At that time, Cyprus was a colony of England and the Cypriots were fighting for their independence. English soldiers used to enter into houses looking for guns. Loucas was only seven years old when the soldiers entered his house. He was frightened and started crying. His father told him that when he was frightened he should start singing and he sang the National Anthem to help calm him down. “From that day on, I kept singing all the time until now at the age of 70 years old. Singing became my salvation,” said Loucas. Eventually Loucas found himself in London as a refugee. His first job at a Greek restaurant saw his guitar and singing skills come in handy when the owner, Mr Stavros, asked him to audition for his son – who happened to be Cat Stevens. “The main part of the show it is timeless songs in a number of languages. I explain the core of the songs and I perform them with an acoustic guitar,” said Loucas. Approx.
