“Acting is a way of living and a serious and joyful path towards self-realization. I believe that the primary function of an actor is to achieve pure 'Transformation". That means that I seek to give life to each role that I impersonate, with the ability to become it" George Panteleakis

REVIEW "Maria Markouli/ It's my blender
"What happens when boxing meets Jazz, dance, singing and story telling. An extraordinary, pulsating performance. In the ring with Jazz beat. A rhythm that changes and ' paints ' its stories and doesn't stop from beginning to end.
....... It's like seeing movies one inside the other. Mankind-dreams, black days, synchronized through the work of a jazzman and the heartbeat of the Boxer. It's the failing American dream-with the blows and knockouts-when Martin Luther King fell dead from bullets and Marilyn would wake no more .
A Trip in a game with risky balance. Life itself. Ladies and gentlemen, "Jazz’n Boxing I tel ya", I hope to see the show again ".

REVIEW “This was a chance to catch a relative rarity: Homer delivered in Ancient Greek with musical accompaniment. Was this what it sounded like thousands of years ago when people first heard it? …...This is worth seeing just to hear the extraordinary voice Panteleakis produces, the vibrant instrumentation and a charismatic performance. It is not theatrical archeology but a contemporary take that tries to imagine creating things for the first time now as others did thousands of years ago.”Hellenic Centre/September 30th 2017

...With masks in the Ancient Greek Original Text and a Technical Rhythmic articulation accompanied with percussion. You will not understand the concepts, but the show is subtitled in Modern Greek. Above all, the intensity of the energy emitted by the actors and especially by George Panteleakis, holding the title role and the “Chorus” part, signing the interesting scenery, illuminated by Melina Mascha, and the Aesthetic of the performance will keep you riveted. I do not know if the experiment might evolve, but the result of this performance was for me a very pleasant surprise.
