grew up near Venice, studied Applied Theatre Studies at JLU Giessen and currently lives in Frankfurt am Main. Her artistic work unfolds in a practice at the interface between theatre, text and textiles. She devotes herself to alternative life models, anti-heroes and the deciphering of reality from a female perspective. In the 2023/24 season, she wrote and directed the stage play “Bettina” at the Giessen City Theatre. For the festival “Politik im Freien Theater 2022”, she realised the live performance “that there then, not now here past” with Antonia Beeskow and Aran Kleebaur. She was artistic co-director of the IMPLANTIEREN 2022/23 festival and has worked regularly as a performer and costume designer for international productions since 2016, including for choreographers Jerôme Bel and Tino Sehgal. Her first book “tressed/Desserts” – in collaboration with the Berlin author and artist Olga Hohmann – was published by windpark books in 2024.
