He is a founding member of the dance group The Lion and the Wolf. His first works, OPUS and ELVEDON were met with great acclaim when presented at the Porta Theatre in Greece. ELVEDON was the first choice of Aerowaves ’16 and was later presented in Paris, Amsterdam and other European cities. OPUS was chosen by Aerowaves ’18, and soon after began its international tour. ION (2018), commissioned by Onassis Stegi and coproduced by Théâtre de la Ville, Paris and Le Lieu Unique, Nantes, continues to tour successfully. LARSEN C (2021), an international coproduction, has already been presented to more than 25 venues and festivals across Europe and recently won the inaugural Rose International Dance Prize, a brand-new biennial prize for original dance creations in any style from across the globe. In 2023 Christos created the work MELLOWING for the prestigious dance company Dance On and, later, MYCELIUM for the Lyon Opera Ballet and the Biennale de la Danse Lyon. These works are touring worldwide. In June 2024 he created a solo work for Georgios Kotsifakis for the LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura and followed that with a new piece for NDT 1 in September. In May 2025 he will premiere his new work with his company at Onassis Stegi Athens.
