Testimonials
FIRST CONTACT Performance, stood out as an exceptional production at Thessaloniki Fringe Festival.
The performance pushed the boundaries of traditional theater and included technology in a unique and innovative manner, making FIRST CONTACT a unique and memorable event, which sparked conversations and provoked thought long after the show had ended. Moreover, the attention to detail in every aspect of the production was commendable. The performers displayed exceptional skill and dedication and created a sense of authenticity that truly drew the audience into the narrative. The show's ability to seamlessly integrate technology and audience interaction within a thought-provoking topic, sets it apart as an outstanding production which is, in today's times, maybe more actual than ever before. I have no doubt that "First Contact" will continue to captivate and inspire audiences wherever it may be performed
~ Thess Fringe Festival PM ~
A different, interactive performance, extremely interesting, that immerses you in the world of artificial intelligence in a clever and enjoyable way. With a unique concept that is definitely worth your time
~ Maria Τ ~
An unforgettable experience that makes you contemplate the evolution of humanity and its needs. Specifically, you get a glimpse of humanoid beings and realize the importance of companionship and how it can fulfill those needs. I am certain that many people were provoked to think and perhaps gained a greater appreciation for human relationships and their way of life after this experience! It would be wonderful if many people embraced this and contemplated it as much as I did!
~ Areti P ~
I attended the performance yesterday. You were very convincing as the humanoid Andrian... It made me fearful of what is to come. You reminded me of scenes from the movie A.I., how ahead of its time it was back then. Thank you!

“what do I WaNt now?
An Orgasm of INCOMPREHENSIBLE things
--> This was our initial thought on the first day of our inner trip.
Dreams, random impulses, the question "what do I want now?"... our raw material.
Lets ask the weird questions, the tough ones... the ones without a satisfactory answer... like "Why do I love you?"
Dreams project was born -> through our need -> for communication, using a camera as our basic tool, during the pandemic. When we were once again together, the handmade, the elusive and the timeless were brought together as well.
Inside Spaceman group is a newly founded group, full of enthusiasm.
___ We're interested in the -> new, -> humanity, -> love, -> all possibilities and potentialities. Our vision is to make things a bit better, more humane.

It is a destination
Is it?
When streets collide many wondrful things happen
Do actors jump at the windows?
Is a reality just a napkin in their hands?
Who painted the exit-only sky?
This and many more
or not at all
to your liking or mine

My heart attack was utterly unexpected
There was no warning
Actually there were lots of warnings, but I ignored them all
I thought nothing of them
I had been feeling a little low for a while, some pain in the chest, pain in the shoulder, and down the arm, back, neck….
But I thought nothing of it
It was nothing, just a little discomfort which, I was sure would pass
I was working hard - working on many different shows at the same time
Traveling
Strange beds
I found it hard to concentrate, to tell dream from imagination from reality
It got a bit weird at times
But I thought I was tired, that’s all. Just over-tired...
Then, out of nowhere... BANG
Blinding pain in the chest
Heart Attack
I thought nothing of it
I thought nothing of it...

mars1 company will take the initiative to dare and send the first human exploration mission to planet Mars in 2027
People from all around the globe are required to abandon their life as they know it, to inhabit the inhospitable red planet
Out of hundreds of thousands, three of them will get selected to take the ticket for a totally new reality
Ambient temperatures reach -170° Kelvin. Constant radiation exposure for a period of approximately seven months
Traveling inside a tiny leaving bucket of the size of just 25 square meters. The greatest challenge of all: it's a one way ticket
That's right! Return to the blue planet is not an option.
And a last detail: everything you do, everything you say, every breath you take are transmitted 24/7 all around the globe
What are the limits of a human being? How a strong will is bend? How does loneliness affect our way of thinking?
Can you withstand seeing the same people day by day by day? Will you lose yourself under pressure?

A theatrical show that portraits the human limits, dipicts the loneliness we all experience, researches the ammount of will power we can harvest in difficult circumstances and how far a deception can go...

Romance, friendship, daily life
Three parts in our play, a common factor: love
Love (romance)
Is a battle
Sometimes it leads to an end. A "dead" end
Frustrated from this, we're pushed to our limits
We may need some time with ourselves to face the real us
Sometimes we might be given a second chance... if we get lucky
Friendship
It's a continuous dialog
Both with others and ourselves
Sometimes its lost in the way for negligible reason, but nothing is final
It takes time and patiense
Should we support our friends to everything they do no matter what?
Daily life
It's a modern cage
Perhaps worst that every previous one
Strugle for life, for money, for rediscovering our lost emotions...
And many times, circumstances lead us to isolation...
... Or even worse to fear
Everything is rotten... but...

"The only things somebody needs is a piece of inspiration, a playful attitude... and when the heart is warm, everything is possible" - Nobody -
A "random" come together of four people at the terrace of an old athenian architectural style building in Exarheia (Athens alternative neighbourhood), will lead to the creation of a new radio station, Radio Ga Ga
A guy called "Nobody", Bill, Celia and Alexia, all of them regular city fellows, will dive into the magic of being a Radio station producer for the first time
A floating music journey that will go through sensitive everyday hurdles, and will result in peculiar self-awareness realisations.
Soon enough, they'll have to dissolve every illusion and take an important decision that will affect them for the rest of their lives...

"What is this"?
Its a performance with a specific time and space
So where does the surprise begin?
When you start touching my hand
I'm here for you
To tell you a story. MY story...
It may come from a place far away or it may have happened at the next door apartment. You can't know for sure...
I have no idea how this will make you think or feel
I'm just sharing something I hold dear inside my heart
With you
Right at this moment
What more can you ask for?

How many galaxies do you need to travel through to find real love?
Have you recently looked upon the sky and wished you could live in a parallel universe?
When you look at your reflection in the mirror do you feel lonely?
Is it like being an alien when you return to reality?
What would you sacrifice to time-travel one year at the past?

Hide and Seek with Time | Ek Paradromis

are trying to escape their fears and reach happiness
Time, though, is passing by without showing any mercy
It goes in circles
Love
Wear
Death
And we start over once more...

Nipiro [aka: Japan Colors | Yoryos Styl
Roses are red, violets are blue; for those colors I'm sure of, or at least I thought I was
When you step your foot on japan soil, you are overwhelmed by color
Countless shades of it in every possible shape, place and surface
But each one having a history on its own, a distinct breathing space
The eye can identify nearly 7 million unique colors, but the color spectrum is limitless
So is Nipiro
Most color names originate from the names of plants, flowers, and animals that bore or resembles them. A story being told for almost fifteen centuries...
But color isn't just what an eye can reach
People are colors too, so are buildings, so is a lost connection, a broken sound, a mixed emotion, an unspoken thought, a crossroad between lives, the loss of touch with reality, a forgotten taste, a light beam with no escape point, a lucky moment, a street that leads somewhere, a new game, the feeling you belong somewhere, the movement that suddenly stops, a strange painting, a hidden scent, a glimpse of imagination, an unavoidable battle, a window to freedom, a boring job, a false impression, a never-ending routine...
A solo photo exhibition of Yoryos Styl
How sin can make us better human beings?
Should religion be about corporate entities, the status quo, branding, aesthetics, codes of conduct, and merchandise placement?
What if, instead of shame or guilt, we were motivated by owning everything that we do, knowing our limits, treating ourselves and others with kindness?
Sinners II is a journey, it is a ritual, an interactive AI experience of transcendence, an attempt to cleanse our minds and souls and give us a glimpse of what a DIY religion may feel like.
The VR confessional booth, designed by the Greek artist Yoryos Styl, offers a unique experience that connects you with your inner self, spirituality, and modern technology.

AGAIN - BEGIN | Viewpoints Expanded
A performance based on Iris Nikolaou Viewpoints Expanded method.
Using a non-hierarchical territory created by deconstructing the viewpoint materials.
Our base: Story | Emotion | Time | Movement | Shape | Space
Each mover doing a personal research and sharing his methods and technique.
A seamingly disconnected composition created an invisible layer of connections and constellations of ideas, of emotions, of synchronisities, of touch, of human expression.
Improvised sewing of rehearshed scores, lead to surprising original forms of expression.
E.g. Looking directly, kiss, the five minute mark is approaching, doing the unnecessary, dancing from the heart, tenderness etc.

A surreal performance about the passage of time.
We find ourselves at a festive table, where audience and performers come together just before the year’s final breath, sharing food, drinks, and memories of celebratory gatherings. Within the warm glow of a Christmas atmosphere, familiar lines from the great texts of world theatre (Chekhov, Beckett, Shakespeare) echo and linger in a universe of nostalgia, longing, and yearning that we collectively build throughout the evening.
The audience becomes family, friends, and accomplices in what is about to unfold—a delicate balance between dream and reality, shaped by an improvised plan that invites everyone’s participation.
On this night, we will sing, dance, eat, drink, and observe together the surreal essence of the Christmas celebration, centered on the pursuit and acknowledgment of our true desires for the years to come. In this performance, everything is possible.
We might even leave and head to Moscow.
In an era where fairy lights, gift wrap, rhinestones, and sequins remind us of our inner loneliness, we choose to share with the audience a scene where disappointments, unanswered questions, fears, and dreams take center stage. REVEILLON is a celebration of our unyielding solitude, longing to transform into a firework that lights up our darkness.
