Ten Out of Nothing

In another life I have a house with a garden in Kypseli. In another life you’re my cat. In another life I go out on the balcony with roller on my hair and I read tarot cards. In another life I’m the old lady with the garden at Chora with the 73 plastic jelly jars turned into pots. In another life we dance at Playa Paraiso in Cuba while the bar nearby plays La Bayamesa. In another life you’re the crisp skin on my win-burn lips that doesn’t leave till I pull it and start bleeding. In another life we play vagabond. In another life you collect Yogi Tea papers and we stick them in the fridge. In another life I’m a geranium. In another life you’re the child that picks me up when I fall down and kiss my palms and knees.

I'm Zoe Sigalou, an Athens-based performer who uses various art forms to explore the connection between her dreams and real life. I'm a performer, scriptwriter, director and producer. I studied Translation and Interpreting at the Ionian University and Dramatic and Performing Arts at Arhi Drama School. In 2020 my short film "The Beast Who Walks Like a Man" won the award of Hellenic Television at Olympia International Film Festival, my script "Corona Australis" got an honorary distinction at TIFF, 2020. In 2022 my play "The Perseids or How to Party Hard" will be performed at the Maxim Gorki Theatre in collaboration with the Goethe Institut.
