Simos Kakalas (Greek: Σίμος Κακάλας) was born in Thessaloniki in 1973 and graduated from the Drama School of the State Theatre of Northern Greece (NTNG), where he worked from 2000 to 2004 as an actor and assistant director. In 1996, he was a founding member of the theatre organization “Nees Morfes”, where he worked mainly as an actor. In 2003, he founded and directed the Theatre Company “Choros”, through which he conducted research and directed his main projects until 2017. With both groups, he defended a theatre of poor means and physicality, poetic discourse and interaction. Since then, he has worked as an independent theater director and has collaborated, among others, with the NTNG, the National Theater in Athens, the Athens & Epidaurus Festival, the Onassis Foundation Stegi and the National Opera. Working with masks, puppets, video projections and live music on stage, he is in constant search of narratives and techniques. As an acting teacher, since 1995 he has taught in countless schools and has organized workshops throughout Greece. His works have been presented at the Dialog Festival (Wrocław, Poland), 40th Tampere International Theatre Festival (Finland), 43rd Kontrapunkt International Festival (Szczecin, Poland), Sibiu International Theatre Festival (Romania), Heidelbergerstuckemarkt (Heidelberg, Germany), Athens and Epidaurus Festival, New Greek Wave (Bremen, Germany), Europe Speaks Out!
