Siegmar Zacharias is a performance artist and teacher of rhetoric. Her works develop formats of theatre-, lecture-, and multimedia-performances and installations, dealing with questions of participation and being together. They are situated between philosophy and sensuality, humour and labour, do-it-yourself low tech and high tech, and have been described as “Visionary. Challenging. Witty”. They have been presented in theatres throughout Europe, in glasshouses, clubs, galleries, in the woods, and up in the sky. Newer works are SWEAT- The Movie, The Pavilion of Hot Air and Hopes, You & Me together. My first…, fear_lab, perforated paradise, zero, Dracula 89/03.
She was co-curator of the Black-Market of useful knowledge and non-knowledge, and part of International Festival: THE THEATRE. Siegmar Zacharias is the initiator of the project Super! Power! What is it to participate in Europe and in Art, and cofounder of SXS Enterprise.
Siegmar studied philosophy and comparative literature in Berlin and London, and performance art at DasArts in Amsterdam. She also teaches rhetoric within business corporations.
