TAKIS MOSHOS

Takis Moschos was born in Chalkida but lived the last 18 years of his life in Skopelos. The actor after a long-suffering life with many cases of abuse found its “harbor” on the beautiful island of Sporades. Takis Moshos became famous for his role in the film “Sweet gang”, which was pioneering for its time.

As he said in an interview: “I left Athens because I was tired. At some point, I wasn’t going anywhere in any way. And Skopelos emerged, quite accidentally. I went a few summers, autumn I just decided to stay a little longer, then came winter and I did not want to leave, and finally, after the first winter, I got the hang of it, as they say. I am very lucky to have found this place that the wave threw me there, so I will not drown. ”

ETHOS

In the last years of his life, Takis Moschos was the director of the amateur theatrical group ETHOS (the amateur theatrical group of Skopelos or … habit). Where he was also the stage designer, costume designer, musician, painter, and conservator of the old ORFEAS cinema, where the performances were given.

At the same time, he used his old studies in Law, his postgraduate courses in Sociology and Fine Arts, teaching literature lessons to high school students.
