Art before volume
We choose work for its artistic force and audience potential, not to fill a catalogue.
About Melpo
The artists make the work. Melpo takes it further.
Melpo selects stage productions of exceptional artistic merit, finances and manages their filming and post-production, then markets and distributes each release internationally. Producers stay focused on the art; presenters receive work chosen and prepared with care.
Theatre begins in a room, between performers and an audience.
Our purpose is not to turn theatre into cinema, but to let a remarkable production travel without losing the concentration, danger and intimacy that made it matter in the first place.
Our standard
How Melpo worksTheatre remains theatre
Camera, sound and edit serve the original production, preserving the presence of the performers and the feeling of being in the room.
Selected to travel
We work across origins and languages, matching each release with the territories, presenters and audiences it can genuinely reach.
Responsibility stays with us
Melpo finances and manages filming, post-production, marketing, distribution, delivery and reporting as one coherent operation.
