the world we see around us is based on a story

Charis Pechlivanidis and Korina Vasileiadou have developed a profound artistic collaboration. Together they discovered that their artistic expression can not be categorized to a single theatre practice but derives from their desire to perceive the world through their own horizon; by making theatre to redefine qualities and concepts such as society, human relationships, theatre procedures, politics, happiness. In 2015 – being in tune with the constant flow of stories that create the world – they created influx artist collective. They have been awarded the Ibsen Scholarship 2013 for their project Minding Ibsen : An enemy of the people meets the people. In 2015 they became the first ones ever to win the Ibsen Scholarship for a second time, with their project “WE: the dramaturgy of the crisis”; a three-fold project – consisting of the performances Case Study I:The sins of the fathers, Case Study II:Our castle in the airand WE – co-produced with the Experimental Scene of the National Theatre of Greece.
