ABOUT PLAYBACK THEATRE

Playback theatre is a form of improvisational theatre based on people’s real life stories, which are enacted on stage by a group of specially trained performers. This non-scripted performance is constructed collectively by both the performers and the audience, thus can never be repeated. Each performance is a unique theatre piece.

ABOUT US

Applied Theatre Association “Playback Psi” (“Playback Ψ”) was first established as a professional group in Greece, in 2004 by the Association of Dramatic Expression and Therapy “Palmos” and consists of performers (actors, dancers, musicians, singers, stage and light designers) who have had special training in improvisational theatre techniques as well as dramatherapy and psychodrama techniques, under the guidance of Lambros Yotis (Ph.D.), psychiatrist, dramatherapist and stage director. Its aim is theatre as a means for social, educational and therapeutic change.

The group has been performing in a number of central Athenian theatre stages, international gatherings, as well as for audiences in diverse settings, such as conferences, schools and multi-cultural educational settings, mental care and rehabilitation institutions.
