Biographie

After a period writing for theater plays, Isabelle Sbrissa has gathered interest in the vocal dimension of poetry. She experiments different forms of performing poetry by mingling polyphony and the interference of several languages. Her poetry gives importance to the orality, revisiting canonical forms and translations in a creative way. She explores the musicality of language getting rid of the communication function.

Her poems mixes together different languages, putting forth similarities in their vocal universe, deploying open significations deriving towards a form of singing.
