Theatre Workshop The "POLYFONIKIS"

Theatrical Workshop was born in 2005, as a need to expand the Organization's artistic pursuits, especially towards Theatrical Practice. The director Dimitris Siountas took over the direction of the department and that's how "Simigdalenos", a play by Alexandros Adamopoulos, was born. In September 2008, the Theater Workshop was taken over by the teacher Yiannis Vlachos.

In September 2010, the educator, director and playwright Athina Kallimani- Georgitsopoulou reorganized the "Workshop", with sections for minors and adults.

A group of people, since 2010 met and are meeting at the THEATER WORKSHOP of "POLYFONIKIS".

Unknown to each other. Different ages, different starting points and personalities. But they are all there... Common desires and needs created this theater group.

It happened simply, naturally, but also impetuously, as every company is born and breathes. It is an experiment - in progress - that withers vanity and heals the wounds of failure, "like any relationship that works", "a space for stray dreams to flourish". And the question always arises: Why should this be done?

The team itself also gives the answer: "Because we love the roads, the challenges, the movement, the experiences, the magic and the ephemeral. Because we feel the need to express ourselves, to get out of the entrenched microcosms and become part of a collective expression. Because we believe that art is the white cane to navigate an irrational society. We are not actors. We are a group. Which addresses the fellow man and shouts to him: "Life is movement, effort, struggle. Fight…. Otherwise, life will become a movie and we will be tired spectators of a foreign story".
