From Culture Clash to Coco
Herbert Siguenza is an actor, writer and visual artist whose work ranges from the theatre group Culture Clash to the voices of twin uncles in Coco.
Comedy, community and performance
Siguenza is a founding member of Culture Clash, a performance group formed in San Francisco in 1984. Its work combines comedy and theatre with social and political satire.
As a playwright and performer, he has also created work outside the group, including A Weekend with Pablo Picasso. His practice extends to visual art as well as theatre.
For Pixar’s Coco (2017), Siguenza voiced the twin uncles Tío Óscar and Tío Felipe in the English-language version. SFMOMA also credits him as a cultural consultant on the film.
