Born in Strasbourg (France) in 1988. She lives and works in Paris (France).
Performance is at the heart of Louise Siffert’s work. Her theatrical and burlesque productions question contemporary forms of alienation and their supposed remedies: the world of work and management, the theories of coaching and personal development and the place of habits are among her favourite worlds, whose language and visual codes she parodies.
“Louise Siffert trained as a set designer before attending the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris. She is a member of DOC, a self-managed artistic space. Using mainly performance, to which she adds the spoken word, Louise Siffert creates narratives about very contemporary issues. The world of work and alienation, the quest for well-being, the place of habits: Louise Siffert’s performances question and relate these current themes in theatrical and burlesque settings. Anchoring her work in scientific and sociological reflections, she creates characters with exaggerated characters, over-exploiting the codes of language and behaviour attributed to them”, extract from BBB centre d’art.
