Manos Tsangaris has always worked to expand and refine the use of media in his
composition and craft. His main focus is on how various human areas of perception are
linked to one another in art works and how they can be developed so as to converge.
Tsangaris has written pieces for conventional concert ensembles, but also writes literary
texts and creates art works and installations.
However, when these different media come together within one context, he is not
concerned merely with arranging them as skilfully as possible; rather, the composer is
principally interested in examining the intersections where such media combinations are
possible in the first place. The originality of his approach makes him one of the most
significant proponents of a new form of music theatre, an innovative artistic format
combining sound, speech and setting
