PLAYWRIGHT - DIRECTOR - ACTRESS - THEATRE MAKER
Greek-British playwright, director, actress and theatre-maker creating contemporary theatre at the intersection of Greek tragedy, psychology, the body, electronic music and lived, embodied experience.

Drawing on the structures and emotional architecture of Greek tragedy, alongside her interdisciplinary background in psychology, health and wellbeing, Gianni creates psychologically charged theatre where text, body, voice, sound and space converge.

Artistic Practice
Where story, body, sound and experience collide
Fenia creates contemporary theatre that explores what happens when the psychological becomes physical and private experience becomes shared.
Her work gives space to voices and experiences that are often silenced, overlooked or misunderstood — particularly women’s experiences of power, abuse, identity, mental health, resilience and transformation.
Drawing on the emotional architecture of Greek tragedy, contemporary writing, British dark humour, physical performance and electronic music, Fenia creates work that moves between vulnerability and intensity, darkness and humour, intimacy and disruption.
Her practice brings together dramatic text, acting, movement, sound, electronic music, light and immersive experience. She is particularly interested in making internal and psychological experiences visible through the body and creating theatrical worlds in which audiences do not simply observe, but encounter the story.
Through tríada theatre company and her developing ELEKTRIK Theatre practice, Fenia continues to explore new forms of performance that challenge conventional theatrical spaces and bring together artists from different disciplines.
At the heart of her work is a belief that theatre can give form to what is difficult to articulate, creating space for unheard voices, challenging perceptions and opening conversations around experiences that are too often kept invisible.
Theatre as encounter.
Theatre as disruption.
Theatre as a way of making the invisible visible.
