Mario Banushi

Mario Banushi is an award-winning theatre director whose artistic practice moves between the familiar and the mythical, memory and family, while expressing itself through a strictly visual and non-verbal theatrical language.

Born in Greece and raised in Albania until the age of six, when he returned to Greece, his artistic universe is shaped by the experience of displacement, family narratives and a distinct visual sensitivity. His works unfold without spoken word, inviting the audience into a sensory experience characterized by visual poetry and emotional depth.

His early work, “Ragada”, created during the pandemic lockdowns, marked the beginning of a practice that developed outside conventional theatrical spaces.
