Theodorus Terzopoulos was born in Makrigialos, Greece.
He studied at Drama School of K. Michailidis (1965-1967) and also in Berliner Ensemble (1972-1976) as assistant of Ruth Berghaus, Benno Benson and Heiner Muller. From 1985 to 1986 he was Artistic Director of the International Meeting of Ancient Greek Drama organized by European Cultural Centre of Delphi. Since 1993 he works as a president of the International Committee of Theatre Olympics. In 1995 he was the artistic director of the Theatre Olympics in Delphi. Since 1990 he has been founding member of the International Institute of Mediterranean Theatres.
In Terzopoulos' theatre, myth is not a fairytale, but a compressed, thickened experience, the rehearsal process is not the execution of dramaturgy, but an adventure in the journey to the landscape of remembrance, a search for the lost keys to the unity of body and text, to the word as a physical entity.
