I was born (1989) in Kalamata. My theatrical journey began at the age of six. For the past ten years, I have been active as a theater director, theater pedagogue, performer, teacher and group facilitator in the field of performative arts. <\/p>\n

I am a founding member of the Non-Profit Organization ATTACKTUS <\/a>(2023) and an active member of the  patchwork  KoinSEp<\/a> (2025) and the Hellenic Network for Theatre in Education <\/a>(2016 \u2013 present). My artistic work is inspired by everyday life and the global human struggles for equality, freedom, and peace. It seeks to raise awareness, cultivate aesthetic appreciation, and nurture the intellectual growth of the public. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
