Vasilis Petinaris
Lighting Designer
With 15 years of experience in Lighting Design, I excel in both institutional and freelance settings. My expertise seamlessly transitions between leading lighting departments in established institutions and delivering high-quality results as a freelance professional.Since 2016, I've served as the Head of the Lighting Department at Rialto Theater Limassol, while simultaneously undertaking freelance projects. This dual experience has honed my skills in managing complex productions while maintaining flexibility and creativity in freelance work.My work has earned me four nominations for the National Theatre Awards of Cyprus, with two wins for the plays "Stallerhof" (2013) and "Stones in his Pockets" (2016). Additionally, I was shortlisted for the National Artist of the Year Award in 2019.
