Letters

Nikos is one of the most gifted and intelligent theatre people with whom I have collaborated.

Nikos has that rare combination of historical scholarship and modern sensibilities which enable him to create plays that have roots both in the most powerful theatrical traditions and in the free spirit of contemporary art.

Judith Malina
Co-Founder and Artistic Director of the Living Theatre, New York

Nikos is a remarkable actor, director, writer, deviser - inshort, a complete man of the theatre, as only the great masters have been through the history of our profession.

His one-man show, Rite of Passage, which is one of his more recent pieces that I have come to know very well, combines all of his gifts in a compelling work, rare in its intensity and power in the contemporary world.
This, like all of Nikos's projects, speaks to our times. He has an uncanny facility for feeling the pulse of our world in his theatre.

Maria Shevtsova
Professor of Drama and Theatre Arts Goldsmiths
University of London

He brings originality and illuminating intelligence to all his work.

His literary gifts compliment these skills to make him a genuine "auteur" of the Theatre.

"Skeletos" is an overwhelming music-theatre inspiration at the cutting edge of today's avant-garde using the music of Iannis Xenakis' "live".
Nikos Dionysios, like his good friend and fellow countryman Xenakis, is a classical Greek living at the end of the 20th century.
