Video & Projection Design in Theatre

"Pantelis Makkas gives us a completely streamlined setting, with a minimalist and eminently qualitative approach, in the selection and placement of objects in space. The formed surrounding atmosphere of the stage space dramatically touches the audience. The viewer feels a direct communion of all the documentary stimuli, which are injected towards him, by the interactive coexistence and synergy of actors and objects. Makkas, in addition, achieves a perfect homogenization of the wonderful video with the figures of the heroes in an almost, unbreakable precision, alignment between them. It is this combination of video and actor, which creates dreamy images, against the supposed pain of the heroes, reveals to us the quintessence of the play, that is, hope, optimism and thirst for life prevail, regardless of events of force majeure.."
