Giorgos Anemoyiannis (1916-2005), Greek Theatre and Costume Designer. Born in Heraclion Crete.
(From Helen Vakethianaki’ article http://www.cretalive.gr/…/diadromh-sto-chroma-kai-sto-oneir…) “The Exhibition is based on periods chronologically. The presentation of the exhibits based on the creation of “live” scenographic spaces said the famous Scenographer Maria Chaniotaki who was the Curator for the Exhibition. “The Anemogiannis Scenographical work is very important because it was a great artist and Theatre and Costume Designer for the history of theater in Greece. Many important Theatre Designers in Greece appreciated his art work as a great example in their own Scenographical works” says Mr. Chaniotaki

“ ... interesting and fuctional the Set Design by Maria Chaniotaki”
Mirka Dimitriadi. Psaropoulou “ Eleutherotupia” Newspaper , June 2000
Short description of the set
“The set consists of three layers of vertical transparent curtains (gauzes), spaced two meters apart, which create an endless background. The second vertical curtain is used as a projection screen in some scenes. The same curtain, by using light, created a non-transparent, foggy space which leaves the spectator’s imagination understand the limits of the stage, providing her with the freedom to do so. In some scenes the dancers were dancing behind the various layers of curtains and that created a strong sense of them coming from a darkling place. Hades was sitting on a metallic armchair under a big curved construction, made from milky Plexiglas with a big lighting hole in the middle. The back side of the big armchair had a number of steps of different widths that could not be seen from the beginning. With those steps, through the movement of Hades and through the reflection of the floor, the middle of the stage turned into a staircase leading into the Underworld.”

"...The set is limited to a shell, not bigger than a small table. And what can be said for the actors? That they are transformed, transforming the space to the ideal set that only imagination can build? It doesn’t need to be named Theatre for Children, it is Theatre…"
Natalie Hadjiantoniou (Eleftherotypia newspaper, 24/12/2003)
-
“…A shell full of surprises, even a city in a miniature (that will be revealed when the shell opens)…”
“…The amazing masks wore by the actors created by the scenographer Maria Chaniotaki…”
“… This play made me love Theatre like I watched it for the first time…”
