Artist statement
Micrographia is a non-profit organization, that is just now founded in Athens, Greece by Dimitra Dermitzaki (theatre director and screenwriter) and Ira Spagadorou (visual artist), for the purpose of artistic research and production in the field of theatrical and visual arts.
There is a need to build a new drama that will emerge not only from words, writing or philosophy but from the connection of image, contemporary visual creation (including digital arts) to a new co-existence, to something called mediated art. We also place great importance on experiential performance as a genre, as it is always a groundbreaking way of including people and issues that plague us. Ecology and social pathogenesis are always two poles of our research.
