“Days of Sorrow”
A 2013 musical performance

Following happiness even
when nothing reminds you of it.

Smiling during the panic… even when the question “How will you endure?” searches within us for an answer through things we don’t know of or of how true they actually are. We become something, moments, words and words scattered in the mirror of our lives trying to explain to ourselves the silence of everything we loved, something like in “Days of Sorrow” ….

DIMITRIS LIOLIOS – WIND INDICATORS
“Every day was a walk in the winds”
Spring 2016

“Anemodeiktes” is a concert theatre performance that was revived at the Anna Maria Kalouta Theatre in N.Kosmos. A play, a rock concert and a dance theatre group in almost simultaneous action on stage.

The narrative was written by Stelios Katsaris on the basic story I had originally written.

Stelios Katsaris, a charismatic artist with a deep spirit as well as a charismatic actor, in the role of my Alter Ego. With me also in a leading role in my first time as an actor outside of a musical role.

“What got us here and where it’s taking us. Memories, promises, dreams, small losses, big returns… on a journey to realization, following the “Anemodeiktes of the soul…”

“La Vita é Trella”
The whisperer of the barhorses – 2018

There are times when you need to take things simply, positively and on the humorous side.

Original covers, selected songs from Dimitris Liolios’ discography, strong beats, melodic blues, funks and ballads with Greek and foreign songs beyond musical labels and currents under original arrangements.

Unexpected sketches, quick lines, a 9-piece orchestra TAHAME ALATAHALASAME, Zanneta Kaloskami and Marzia singing and doing vocals, as well as two “strong” guests, such as Giorgos Hatzis (Agamoi Thytoi) and Michalis Paouris who need no further introduction, all together created this unique musical – and not only – atmosphere.

La Vita é Trella – At a time when the absurd had already become our everyday life!

Performance “Ego” – 2019

Each type of art has its own codes to decode the world we live in, each one approaching it through its unique way of expression.

Art has its own decoding ways in the world we live in, by approaching it with a unique way of expression. Dance and music have an unbreakable bond and interconnecting aspects to them. 

In 2012, I began to write music for classical dance. It was an introductory move on my part as I always felt the need to be expressed through instrumental music. 

My collaboration with Eirini Karropoulou began through her dance school’s performances, for which I wrote the musical sheets, reaching a conclusion in 2019, where her dance team “Anemodeiktes” performed at Bempo theatre with the title “Ego”, with music written by me.
