Born in Athens where she works as a set designer. She studied set design at Central Saint Martins, London. Part of her postgraduate studies was conducted in Krakow focusing on research in Tadeusz Kantor’s work. The concepts dealt with in metatheatre have since been a reference point in her work. She has collaborated with Dimitris Karantzas (The Persians, Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus 2022 / The Clouds, Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus 2019 / Rob, Onassis Stegi 2018 / Plateia Heroon, Theatre Odou Kykladon 2017 / Twelfth Night, National Theatre of Greece 2016 et.al.), Christos Papadopoulos (Larsen C, Onassis Stegi2021), Hector Lygizos (The School for Wives, Peiraios 260 2021 / Noises Off, Onassis Stegi 2018 / Bacchae, Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus 2017 / Prometheus Bound, Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus 2014 / Room Service, Onassis Stegi 2014 et.al.), Aggeliki Papoulia and Christos Passalis (Liver, Greek National Opera 2020) et.al. She was art director for the films Boy Eating the Bird’s Food by Hector Lygizos and Moderation by Anja Kirschner.
A woman is in a coma. At the hospital, her husband sits next to her. The first paragraph of the text is written on a visible spot, on stage. “This is the last discussion between organs and body parts of a man and a woman, as recorded on medical devices just before she died…”. The set focuses on the reclining woman. The place is her perception of time and space. Amidst the pandemic the set was build, rehearsals took place, the show was cancelled. A decision was made to expand the collaboration and include a filming crew. Within two days, Liver was filmed and photographed, under the direction of The Boy. The outcome of the entire, multi-dimensional collaboration is now an edited video. It’s not a filmed performance, or a film. However it is what it is in a very concrete way, which we can process and allow it to inspire our understanding of contemporary theatre.
