Dimitris Dimitriadis was born in Thessaloniki in 1944. He studied theatre and film in Brussels from 1963 to 1968, and it was in the Belgian capital, in 1966, that he wrote his first play; The Price of Resistance in The Black Market <\/em>was directed by Patrice Ch\u00e9reau in 1968 and staged at the Theatre d ‘ Aubervilliers, Paris.<\/p>\n

His first novel (Dying As a Country<\/em>) was published in 1978, a collection of poems (Catalogues 1-4<\/em>) in 1980, and a play (The New Church of Blood<\/em>) in 1983. A large number of works \u00a0followed: Anthropody – The Assignment<\/em>: Prelude to a Millenium <\/em>(novel, 1986),\u00a0 Catalogues 5-8<\/em> (poetry, 1986), Elevation <\/em>(play, 1990), The Unknown Harmony of the Next Century<\/em> (play, 1992), Catalogues 9 \u2013 The Terms<\/em> (poetry, 1994), The Beginning of Life<\/em> (play, 1995 \u2013 staged that year by \u00a0Stefanos Lazaridis at Notos Theatre), The Stunning of Animals Before the Slaughter<\/em> (play, 2000 – directed by Yiannis Houvardas at Notos Theatre), Oblivion and Four Other Monologues<\/em> (plays, 2000 – the monologue Oblivion<\/em> was staged at the Petit Odeon in Paris, in 1998, by J.C.

The French Od\u00e9on theatre paid a tribute to Dimitris Dimitriadis in the 2009-2010 season, as did the Onassis Cultural Centre in 2013 with performances, directed readings, presentations and discussions. His play The Circle of the Square<\/em> was presented at the Festival D\u2019Avignon in 2014, directed by Dimitris Karatzas.<\/p>\n

He got systematically involved with the translation of prose works \u2013\u00a0 Jean Genet, Georges Bataille, Witold Gombrowicz, Maurice Blanchot, Gerard de Nerval, Balzac, Bernard-Marie Koltes \u2013, as well as the translation of plays \u2013\u00a0 Moli\u00e8re, Euripides, Jean Genet, G. Courteline, Tennessee Williams, Shakespeare \u2013 for various theatres. After 1980, he closely collaborated with “Agra” publications that have issued the bulk of his work and, more recently, with “Saixpirikon”, a publishing group based in Thessaloniki.<\/p>\n
