ABOUT

Mirror theatre was founded by artistic director Angeliki Petropetsioti in 2014. It is a company dedicated to producing new exciting theatre in the UK, inspired by poetry, literature and music. Our work is greatly influenced by humanity, childhood and human relationships.

 

"Theatre is perceived to be as the mirror of the creator's actions".

Angeliki is a theatre director who founded the Mirror Theatre in 2014, in London. She lives and works in London.

She trained as an actress at the renowned Drama school of Greek Art Theatre (Theatro Technis)-Karolos Koun, as well as at the Conservatoire of Dramatic Arts, Athens. She attended two short courses in directing at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.  

 

Her particular interest lies in combining visual art with poetry, live music and performance for non conventional performance spaces. She explores ways where poetic language and literature merge and experiments with contemporary performance art.
