OSMOSIS performing arts co.

// from the outside in

// osmotic character development

// ridicule and transformation

// unexpectedly affecting

Founded by Euripides Laskaridis in 2009, the OSMOSIS performing arts company is a supportive pool of artists who come together in differing combinations from project to project.

osmosis [ɒzmˈə‍ʊsɪs]

// a process where liquid molecules push through a membrane to equalise both sides // the reciprocal influence of two opposed elements // a gradual spread – or unconscious assimilation – of ideas and knowledge // a subtle mingling // from the ancient Greek ōsmos – “a thrust through”

OSMOSIS explores everyday life – the little details, the collective subconscious, the imaginary, and the absurd – with the company’s gaze fixed firmly on unexpected slants of the human condition.

OSMOSIS works flirt with transformation – often into the ridiculous, the humorous and the grotesque – in the belief that this territory can offer startling insights into deeper truths.
