ATITLON

Antonia Economou (1995) is a Greek choreographer, director and performer. After studying dance and choreography at London Studio Centre she returned to Athens. After finishing her degree in History of Art, she established a close academic relationship with the discipline, which constitutes her primary source of inspiration for creating images on stage. Economou is the founder, executive producer and artistic director at the non-profit ERGO Collective, a creative platform founded in 2017 on the premise of collective creation of meanings and collaborative processes between artists in Athens and abroad.
 

Antonia’s works, created and performed in Athens between 2017-2019, include: CORPO, TO THE ABYSS, HOLY FATHER (2017, Contemporary Theatre of Athens), PiETA (2018, Roes Theatre) and PiETA II (2019, Alternative Stage, Greek National Opera, SNF Cultural Centre). Her efforts to create these works was focused around the vivid images and narrative of Dante Alighieri's Trilogy, and later around the form and body in Michelangelo’s artistic practice.
 

Another piece, Composition for six bodies was conceived during the pandemic and was performed in July 2020 in Athens (Amaxostasio, Papagou Festival, archaeological space of Plato's Academia). The piece acquired a digital dimension as a short film titled COMPOSITION: snakes for her, about a woman and her dreams at night that merge with reality and make it unstable. The film is currently distributed internationally (Best experimental film at Berlin Indie Film Festival / Official Selection at Los Angeles Experimental, Dance & Music festival, Finalist at Lonely Wolf: London International Film Festival and others).
 

In addition to her work in dance and film, Antonia works in the Athenian theatre scene as a movement curator and consultant.
