about us

The laboratory of manufacture and puppet theater of puppet “antamapantahou” was established in 1992 by Nikos Tompros and Eleni Panagiotou at Vasilika of Northern Evoia in Greece.

From 1994 onwards, it has been performing in the streets, theaters, schools and international festivals in Greece and Europe.

In 2002, it was commissioned by the Hellenic Culture Organization to tour in 8 cities in Greece and Cyprus, within the framework of the Cultural Olympiad Programme. Apart from its own productions, it has developed co-operative projects with outstanding Greek musicians and theater groups.

As an integral part of its overall policy, Antamapantahou organizes and delivers seminars and workshops for children and adults in the fields of puppet and marionette manufacture and puppet animation.

Antamapantahou working method combines a variety of puppet theater, pantomime and physical theater techniques. Its performances are being developed in a way that emphasises on the relationship between the puppet and the puppeteer, always aiming to develop the puppet into a distinct and self-animated character.
