Konstantinos Dellas is a director, performer, and researcher. He is a PhD candidate at the Department of Theatre Studies at the University of the Peloponnese and holds a Master’s degree titled “Theatre and Society: Theory, Stage Practice, and Didactics.” In addition to his theatre studies, he also holds a degree in Theology.
His research interests focus on the anthropological approach to folklore, with an emphasis on the gendered dimensions of ritual traditions and their use in stage performance. Through his productions, he explores the stage body as a carrier of both local and global information, incorporating elements of greek material culture and intangible cultural heritage. By engaging these elements in dialogue with experimental scenic forms, he creates an original theatrical language.
He has been a speaker at national and international workshops on ancient drama, focusing on the Chorus of tragedy through the use of rhythmic and vocal patterns from traditional music, as well as bodily elements from folk religious rituals.
He has previously collaborated with the Athens and Epidaurus Festival (Electra by Sophocles at the Frynichos Theatre in 2015, Antigone by Sophocles at the Little Theatre of Epidaurus in 2018, and in Cividale del Friuli, Italy, in 2019). His works have also been presented in various theatres across Greece.
