In the fall of 2017, it entered the third cycle of its course,
introducing into the field of its explorations,
the Theater of Communication. Term created
to concentrate in research of ways
and tools that will emerge an effective and creative
communication between the members who experience the theatrical process
either as acting performers or as emancipated spectators.
The Searches of the Theater of Communication use as a prism
the fundamental triptych of theatrical art:
ritual, politics and aesthetics in an effort
to contribute to self-knowledge, transformation and creation.
Within the framework of the Theater of Communication,
we take as called the pandemic conditions,
to reposition and use the available means, to get in touch , to create
and enhance communication channels at a time
who needs it more than ever.
And always remember that the nature of art is to inspire,
to transform, to heal and connect.
2002 - 2022
FACTA NON VERBA
THEATER OF COMMUNICATION
ΓΕΝΕΣΗ FnV
To put our art in the vision
and not the ghost of freedom.
That's the reason we decided
to create the theatrical group
Facta Non Verba .
A team that works
in the context of anti-authoritarian collectivism
and does not accept authorities, pioneers, intellectuals and artistic elites.
Against the standards that are imposed
from the culture of domination
against ourselves
and our insecurities,
we will try to walk
on the road to social liberation.
Theater is by nature
an art on purely collective basis.
It is a ritual that has a purpose
to revitalize society.
Otherwise it has no reason to exist.
Today, in the service of power,
has lost its meaning and its power.
That is why the theater must become anarchist.
To regain its true purpose.
That of transformation, of knowledge,
of sensuality and clarity.
