Foivos Dousos

Crew

Foivos Dousos completed his PhD on narcissism in new media cultures in 2019. He was a contributing curator for the Athens Biennale and a founding member of Sound Acts Festival, the Athens Museum of Queer Arts (AMOQA) and the publishing initiative Queer Ink. In his creative practice as part of the artistic duo FYTA, he has performed in Athens, Geneva, Berlin and London. FYTA's work problematizes Greek identity and nationalism and often employs playfulness, humour and irony. In 2020, FYTA were commissioned by the Greek National Opera to present a queer adaptation of Claudio Monteverdi's L'Orfeo. This work, initially conceived as a staged opera, was later turned into a film (ORFEAS2021) which premiered at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival in 2021. ORFEAS2021 was screened in film festival, art spaces and queer events in Toronto, Rotterdam, Berlin, Boston, Copenhagen, Stockholm and others. In 2023, Foivos was involved in the making of the upcoming documentary 'Avant Drag!' as producer and writer. The film will premier in early 2024 and it focuses on the thriving experimental drag scene of Athens.
