Bauchgefühl mit Evangelos Sargantzo (in German)
Evangelos Sargantzo, genannt Vangeli, ist ein deutsch/griechischer Musicaldarsteller und Schauspieler. In Berlin aufgewachsen, doch Wahl Hamburger. In Hamburg hat er am Ohnsorg-Theater seine Karriere begonnen. Ausländer Rollen wie Türken, Mexikaner, Griechen bieteten ihm den Einstieg. Doch mittlerweile steht ihm alles offen. Seit 3 Jahren spielt Vangeli am Schmidt Theater verschiedene Rollen in dem St. Pauli Musical Heiße Ecke.
Mut, Vertrauen und einfach "Machen Machen Machen" ist sein Motto.
Als Kind wollte Vangeli Bäcker werden, doch als ihm seine Mutter sagte, wann man als Bäcker aufstehen muss, hat er den Traum schnell wieder aufgegeben und ist doch Schauspieler geworden.
Nach einem erfolglosem Vorsprechen in Hamburg dachte sich Vangeli, dass er als Künstler nicht immer von anderen abhängig sein möchte und hatte die Idee für das interaktive Musical „Jana & Janis“, worin er später selbst in der Premierenbesetzung Janis spielte und welches in fünf Kategorien für den Deutschen Musical Theater Preis 2018 nominiert wurde.
