tríada

tríada is a Greco-British theatre company tackling big social issues in small, intimate, diverse spaces. We create immersive performances that provoke thought and incite conversation by dealing with the truths of the human condition. We select and perform for our audiences an array of comic, dramatic and political plays that are timeless and universal, ’discussing’ everyday issues such as relationships, family, society, love and trust. By operating in people’s 'personal space', we aim to subvert the notion of temporary suspension of disbelief, instead provoking audiences to believe, react and respond to man’s inhumanity to man.

Moreover, we specifically aim to create an environment where marginalised artists due to race, ethnicity, gender identity, ageism and disability can feel welcome and safe to come and create their work and connect within the local artistic community and people.

triada also offers the opportunity to host a performance in your own home or chosen space such as galleries and multi-use artistic venues, bringing live theatre in your own personal space. To find out more click here.

triada is led by a creative team of directors, writers and actors and artistically driven by actress/writer and academic Fenia Giannopoulou. We welcome expressions of interest from other creatives to join us in our artistic vision.

We believe that theatre can:

Bring people together
