Onassis Masterclasses

How does Tiago Rodrigues begin writing a play? How does Julien Gosselin build his complex stage universe step by step, and how did Mariano Pensotti collaborate with Yiannis Niarros and Kostas Nikouli? How does Romain Gavras choose his actors, and how does Yannis Economides guide them through rehearsals and on set? How, ultimately, does Charlie Kaufman’s mind work?

Which images spark Marlene Monteiro Freitas’ explosive choreographies? Onassis Stegi opens a dialogue between the international artists presenting their work on its stages this season and Greece’s theater, dance, and film communities through a series of singular encounters. Framed as an open field for conversation and experimentation, these masterclasses showcase the power of creative exchange, bringing together acclaimed creators with industry professionals and audiences interested in the creative process.

Onassis Masterclasses offer a rare chance to see how an artist thinks and works, to hear stories never told, and to share a live experience of inspiration and exchange. They invite a deep dive into each artist’s work, method, and technique, as well as into the unique worlds they create.
