Andreas Andreou is a director and writer of theatre and film
from Athens, Greece.
In 2010, he moved to London to study Classics at King’s College on a Schilizzi Foundation Scholarship. He continued with graduate studies at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale, where he is currently studying towards an MFA in Theatre Directing.
With his plays My Death Etc. and M.A.Z.I., he represented the National Theatre of Greece internationally under the aegis of the Union des Théâtres de l'Europe (UTE). Other directing credits include plays by Caryl Churchill, Tim Crouch, Efthimis Filippou, and others. In 2022, he wrote and directed his first short film, By Heart, adapted from the stage play D.D.D. by Dimitris Dimitriadis.
Between 2016 and 2020, Andreas worked on several projects with Rimini Protokoll in major European institutions such as Haus der Kulturen der Welt, GRIPS Theatre Berlin, Onassis Stegi, Staatsschauspiel Dresden, Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus, Residenztheater München, and Schauspielhaus Zürich. In 2023, he worked with Robert Wilson on his production of Edward Albee’s Three Tall Women and Jarry/Miró’s UBU at the Municipal Theatre of Piraeus and The Watermill Center, respectively. He was The Watermill Center Summer Program Assistant in that same year.
Andreas has attended masterclasses with Ian Rickson, Patrick Marber, Thomas Ostermeier, Vassilis Papavassiliou, Lyndsey Turner, Dima Krymov, Shi-Zheng Chen and others. As a performer, he is trained in the method of Attis Theatre founder Theodoros Terzopoulos.
Being a Mediterranean and Balkan creature, Andreas loves renegotiating history, language, and identities through unconventional storytelling. Fusing darkness with light, and tragedy with comedy, he constantly asks the question: Just how real is reality, really?
