I am Vassilis Mantzoukis and I’m a composer, set designer and painter,
born in Athens, raised in Kalamata, based in Athens.
I’m the co-founder and director of BAUMSTRASSE art space
and ATTIΚO SCHOOL OF ANCIENT GREEK DRAMA.

This time I participate as the composer and set designer
of the new BAUMSTRASSE theatre production ‘CAIN-A MYSTERY’
by George Gordon Byron (direction Martha Frintzila).
I also play the part of Lucifer. This is my first appearance on stage as an actor.

I’m inspired by Art itself.
‘Good’ in Art means a creatively well balanced composition of quantities and qualities.
Humourless and rude people make me angry.
Great music, Cosmology and Physics, Beauty in human achievements. Martha.
Τake my breath away.

The unspeakable (the thing that looks mysterious to me and I’m not in position to express)
maybe it is the frame in which the thing that I am in position to express, makes sense.
L. Wittgenstein 1931
