Mary and Evangelia Rantou are both graduates of the Greek National School of Dance (KSOT) and have been active in the performing arts for over twenty-five years, collaborating with renowned artists such as Dimitris Papaioannou, Robert Wilson, Alexandra Waierstall, Yorgos Lanthimos, Euripides Laskaridis, and Athina Rachel Tsangari, among others.
Their artistic collective Garage21 integrates contemporary dance, theatre, and performance art, emphasizing the body as a primary means of expression. Over the years, the collective has developed works exploring time, memory, and transformation that have been presented in festivals and theatres in Greece and Cyprus. Beyond production, it engages in artistic education through workshops and residencies that it hosts in the organisation’s studio facilities.
In 2022, they launched ION Arts Festival, expanding their artistic activities and establishing a platform for creative exchange.
