Michael Marmarinos was born in Athens. He studied biology (Master’s degree in neurobiology), acting and directing. In 1983-84 he founded the theatre company "Double Eros", which after its first performance won a grant from the Ministry of Culture. The company was renamed "Theseum Ensemble" (TE) (www.theseumensemble.com), after internal reforms and transformations. His work is guided by two persistent principles: a) Theatre is the art of the humble story of people. b) There is no moment in everyday life, that is not theatre when the right look is present.
Apart from Greece, M.M.'s productions have been staged - or others have toured to various international festivals - in: Austria, Belgium, China, France, Georgia, Germany, Holland, Japan, Italy, Korea, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland, Venezuela.
