Zoe Sigalou is an actress, director, and playwright who uses performance and storytelling to explore the connection between dreams and real life.
In 2025, Zoe stars in Oxytocin by Spyros Skandalos and Last Tropics by Thanasis Trouboukis, both funded by the Onassis Foundation. She is also making her directorial debut with the short film Amongst Leaves and Branches, written by her brother and creative partner, Panagiotis Sigalos. In theatre, she is currently developing her next play, November Charlie.
Her previous works include Perseids or How to Party Hard — a queer cosmic rave examining modern love and revolt — produced by the Onassis Foundation in 2023, following its selection by the Goethe Institute’s New Stages Southeast program.
She also co-wrote and performed in Call Me Sugar, also showcased at the Onassis Foundation, and created Chromosome W: An Alphabet for Womankind, a solo piece presented in London and Thessaloniki as part of Voila! Theatre Festival 2022 and ThessFringe 2023.
Zoe has collaborated with directors including Syllas Tzoumerkas, Christos Passalis, Youla Boudali, Elke Lehrenkraus, Serkan Yelice, among others. She has been selected as an actress at the Talents Sarajevo strand of Berlinale Talents, the Oxbelly x National Film & Television School program, and several acclaimed international residencies.
In summer 2025, she will attend the Stella Adler Studio of Acting Summer Conservatory in New York.
Zoe is currently based between Athens and London, and is available for film, theatre, and voiceover work internationally.
