Stylianos Tsatsos (b. 1990, Athens) is a freelance dance, performance, and visual artist whose work unfolds at the intersection of movement, object, and space. His studies span Dartington College of Art, Falmouth University Academy of Theatre Arts, and the Greek National School of Dance.
Trained in site-specific / devised theatre, visual arts, and dance in the UK and Greece accordingly. His practices bridge movement-architecture, scores and installation, seeking the invisible geometries that connect bodies to environments and gestures to materials.
Tsatsos is currently collaborating with Marina Abramović on her most recent major performance project; Balkan Erotic Epic, touring internationally, further expanding his exploration of endurance, presence, and the ritual dimensions of the body.
In 2025, appointed as a Repertoire Master at La Biennale Danza di Venezia and the Athens Conservatoire, specialising in SW&G Repertoire and Art Business Ethics.
Since 2015, Tsatsos has been a long-term member & dance artist of the company Sasha Waltz & Guests based in Berlin, performing internationally across Theatre Stages, Opera Houses, Open Air and Museums.
In 2019–20, he was selected as a Fellow of ARTWORKS, supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, where he developed research on the body as an analog sensor in digital times, tracing how motion and stillness reveal the fragile architectures of attention.
His personal creations include collaborations with major institutions such as the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens (EMST), Kampnagel Theater (Hamburg), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), DuSable Museum (Chicago), and the Fluxum Foundation (Geneva- Athens), amongst others.
Through installations and live works, Tsatsos explores & experiments with the shifting presence of the human body in relation to e-motions, technology, and ecological systems. His performances often emerge from physical research, use of replicats and repetition with everyday objects—bottles, escalators, or digital machinery—transforming them into active participants in choreographic encounters.
Tsatsos’s artistic universe is one of subtle displacements—where a fall becomes a sculpture, a gesture becomes a system, and the body, stripped to its essentials, becomes both instrument and site of perception.
