Thanos’ research focuses on new approaches to music-theatre making. Inspired by the second wave of cybernetics and the role of the observer in systems, his investigation explores the concept of Posthumanism in performing arts through the development of technologically-aided, audience-interactive and immersive performances
His project aspires to immerse the performance spectators in the mise-en-scène and get them engaged through technological interaction, in a ludic, hybrid environment between performance and interactive installation.
