Leonidas Danezos feat. Petros Kolotouros & Amélie Joannides
A performance based on the convergence of three approaches: sound, image, and movement. Leonidas Danezos, musician and sound designer, draws on tradition and electronic music, combining the delicate resonance of the baglama and Persian santur with analog synthesizers and effects. Petros Kolotouros composes vivid visual environments and sound textures, transforming reality into poetic, cinematic gestures through the camera, sound, and light. Dancer Amélie Joannides, with a background in classical dance (Opéra de Paris) and physical theater, brings movement as an element of live response, transforming the stage into a place of constant negotiation between body, sound, and image.
🔷 Using analog audio devices, Greek-British musician, composer, and sound designer Leonidas Danezos has composed original music for award-winning films, documentaries, art films, theater productions, and educational projects. Active since 1985, he is a founding member of bands such as Alcalica and Superwave and has released thirteen vinyl albums. The London electronic scene of the 1990s, musical machines, and his passion for traditional instruments come together in a transformative sound experience without borders.

🔷 Audiovisual artist Petros Kolotouros explores the sensory possibilities of combining image and sound. He has directed music videos, video dance and video art, as well as projections for music concerts. Documentaries he has directed or for which he has been director of photography have won awards at international festivals in Greece and abroad. He is a drummer in two active bands and a graduate of the University of the Aegean’s master’s program in “Culture and Documentary Film Production” and the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Patras. In both music and cinema, he applies and explores the concept of free improvisation.
🔷 Amélie Joannides is a dancer, actress and performer. After more than ten years dancing with the Paris National Opera, she left the classical stage to dive into the realms of music, movement and trance. Her work dissolves borders between dance and sound, creating hypnotic rituals where the body becomes both instrument and oracle. She is also acting in the Emmy award winning serie” Etoile ” and while she works worldwide, she now establishes her base between Athens and Paris.
