Argyro Chioti works in Greece and France as a director, actor and drama instructor. She graduated as an actor from the Morfes Higher Drama School of the Embros Theatre (2000) and holds a degree in Theatre Studies and a postgraduate degree (Master 2) in directing and dramaturgy (“Theorie et Pratique des Arts”) from the University of Provence in France (2006). In 2006 she co-founded the Vasistas theatre group, which operated first in France and then in Greece. She has worked across both classic and contemporary drama, and on productions that blur the boundaries between different art forms. Through regular foreign tours and other collaborations, she maintains an active and creative relationship with major European theatres and companies, including Théâtre des 13 Vents, Théâtre de la Bastille, Théâtre Liberté - Chateauvallon, and Comédie des Reims.

She has most recently directed Point of Refreshment at the Athens and Epidaurus Festival; Efthimis Filippou’s Big and Small Ships for the 2023 Eleusis European Capital of Culture; Vitsentzos Kornaros’s Erotokritos at the State Theatre of Northern Greece; Halepas by The Boy at the Onassis Stegi (a co-production with Italy’s Emilia Romagna Teatro Fondazione); Aristophanes’ The Frogs at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus; and Efthimis Filippou’s Eau de Cologne at the National Theatre of Greece.
