A Greek amateur theatre group in Dubai

The group Scenes & Skenes is an amateur theatre group, created in 2015 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The founder, Vicky Koumoutsou, is a professional actress and theatrologist, involved in a multitude of tv shows, theatrical performances and motion pictures in Greece.  Her vision is the artistic expression, the contact and promotion of the Hellenic theatrical culture, in a region, poor in theatrical background, but with a great thirst for any form of artistic activities. The group is comprised of ten amateur actors who work abiding by professional criteria, dedicating their personal time, with no financial gain. Their objective is psychological relief and expression as well as the creation of an artistically sound result, for the Greek community of the UAE.

 Fellow travellers, in this journey are the external partners of the group (producer, costume designer, stage designer, graphic designer, photographer) whose precious help has been a catalyst in the achievement of the aforementioned goals.

All the members of the group, in front and behind the scenes, have the profound desire, throughout this creative process, to give a little smile to those of our fellow human beings that are in great need of it, by supporting Emfasis Foundation. A foundation that aims to give immediate and effective solutions, to the overall needs of the vulnerable and the socially excluded fellow people. People who live on the streets facing severe issues of survival.

This year Scenes & Skenes makes its first theatrical venture, applying passion, craze, strong emotions and soul and having only one dream, to receive, in the end, the warmest applause! The play “Dad, Don’t die on a Friday again” took the stage for a number of years in the theatres of Athens. It had a huge commercial and artistic success and the leading roles were performed by many successful theatre actors.
