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.
