Γλύκα Στόιου
When people ask what I do for a living, it's hard for me to answer. Well... I like art, traveling, smiling & making people smile; I like people that live their lives with passion. So, I earn my living by telling stories about passionate people through theatre, documentaries, and art. On a global scale. It's not easy, but worths every minute!
Όταν με ρωτούν τι δουλειά κάνω, πάντα δυσκολεύομαι να απαντήσω. Μου αρέσουν οι τέχνες και τα γράμματα, μου αρέσει να ταξιδεύω, να χαμογελώ και να κάνω τον κόσμο να χαμογελάει. Μου αρέσουν οι άνθρωποι που ζουν τη ζωή τους με πάθος. Έτσι λοιπόν, λέω ιστορίες για ανθρώπους που κεντρίζουν το ενδιαφέρον μου μέσα από το θέατρο, το ντοκιμαντέρ και την τέχνη. Σε παγκόσμια κλίμακα. Δεν είναι εύκολο, αλλά αξίζει το κάθε λεπτό!
Wenn Leute fragen was ich beruflich mache, finde ich es schwierig zu erklären. Ich mag Kunst, Reisen, Lachen und Menschen zum Lachen bringen. Ich mag Menschen, die ihr Leben mit Leidenschaft leben. Also erzähle ich durch Theater, Dokumentationen und Kunst Geschichten über leidenschaftliche Menschen rund um die Welt. Es ist nicht einfach, aber jede Minute wert!
