Sissy Doutsiou is an actress, spoken word artist, and curator — a pioneering figure in the Greek spoken word scene performing in Greek and English. Her multimedia performances combine original spoken text with handcrafted ritual masks and creature figures she builds by hand: autonomous presences born from childhood memory, from the body's oldest knowledge of fear, protection, desire, and play. These hybrid beings — where the boundary between the living and the non-living dissolves — anchor visceral, politically charged events rooted in a single ethos: existential tenderness against the violence of normality, moving through personal experience, mythology, social resistance, and eroticism.

She has performed at the 1st Biennale in Athens, the Weimar Poetry Award, the Brighton Fringe Festival, the London School of Economics, the Vienna Art and Poetry Video Festival, and the International Poetry Festival at Theatre Deli, London. In 2025 she released her debut spoken word LP Insult of Public Modesty (Inner Ear Records) — one of the first contemporary spoken word vinyl records in Greece.
