tríada

tríada is an international theatre company from Greco-British-French origins, addressing significant social issues in intimate, diverse settings. We create immersive performances that provoke thought and ignite conversation about the human condition, via "discussing" important topics such as relationships, family, society and trust. By operating in people's 'personal space,' we challenge the typical suspension of disbelief and encourage active engagement and responses to humanity's injustices. Moreover, we aim to create an environment where marginalised artists due to race, ethnicity, gender identity, ageism and disability, feel welcome and safe to create their work and connect with the local community.

triada is led by a creative team of directors, writers and actors, and a scientific team of health and wellbeing experts and behaviour change practitioners. By blending arts and science, we cultivate innovation, creativity, and social impact within our community and the performing arts. This unique fusion inspires transformative experiences and enriches the cultural landscape in theatre and storytelling.

triada is artistically driven by actress, writer, director, and well-being academic and behaviour change coach Fenia Giannopoulou. Our collaborators include charities, organisations, and production companies such as the Centre of Arts & Wellbeing at the University of Brighton, Sweet Venues Brighton, the Euro-Mediterranean Resources Network (Euromernet), and the You My Sister Organisation.

Mission vision & values

triada is guided by six central values

INCLUSIVITY
DIVERSITY
RESILIENCE
COMMUNITY
COLLABORATION
INNOVATION

We believe that theatre can:

Bring people together
Improve people's well-being and resilience
Create a safe space for people to be educated and receive support in social and mental health issues
Create an environment for creatives and academics that encourages artistic experimentation, collaboration and creativity.

Our primary vision is to raise awareness of social and mental health issues and improve people’s well-being by bringing the arts to the community.

We seek to produce socially impactful and exciting new work by diverse voices to educate, raise awareness and build community in our city, our country and around the world.
