Born in 1983. She holds a BA from the Sculpture Division of the Athens School of Fine Arts (2013) and the Department of Theatre Studies of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (2006). For two years, she attended the stage design workshop at the Athens School of Fine Arts. She is soon to complete the MSc in Public History at the Hellenic Open University. Since 2009, she has participated in group exhibitions, workshops and visual arts festivals. She has worked as a stage & costume designer for the theatre and the cinema since 2012 and she has participated in many theatrical productions collaborating with Athens theatres (Epi Kolono, Onassis Stegi, Bageios, Bios, 104, Contemporary Theatre of Athens et.al.). She is a member of the Ginger Creepers group and she collaborated in stage design with the acclaimed artist Alekos Fassianos in two performances.
Deconstructing and reconstructing image, sound, narrative and symbols were intended to enable the return to the origins of theatrical praxis, its connection with the spectator. The spectator moves amongst the works, including a “live” installation with the two designers, as in an art exhibition. Also, the narrative permeating space in the form of sound gradually decodes the function of the works, thus enabling various interpretations. The stillness of the “starring” scene space acquires motion via the viewer’s internal translocation. At the core of the performance are ecology and sensitivity to the species of the animal kingdom threatened with extinction, as well as the connection between man and nature in general. The exhibition theatre form can work both in physical and digital space. Experimentation on new spatial forms enhances existing forms with new elements benefiting from the experience of a “pause” of live shows.
