Life performs. Art responds.

I am an artist and director working with performance as a way of composing life.

My practice moves between performance, film, writing and collective creation, developing works that emerge from lived experience, embodied intensity, and fragmented or suppressed narratives. Drawing from autobiographical material, research and collaboration, I create performative structures that explore memory, trauma, desire, grief, displacement, belonging, transformation and the fragile insistence of pleasure and hope.

Having grown up in an intercultural family, I experience identity not as a fixed condition but as a continuous negotiation between languages, cultures, histories and emotional landscapes. This understanding informs my artistic approach, which is rooted in the belief that experience is not something we simply possess, but something we continuously perform, embody and transform.

I am interested in performance not only as an artistic medium but as a fundamental condition of life. We perform identities, relationships, beliefs, social roles and personal narratives. Through artistic practice, I seek to make these processes visible and to create spaces where they can be encountered, questioned and reimagined.

Many of my projects begin with scripts that function as open scores rather than fixed narratives. Collaborators—actors, performers, filmmakers, visual artists and participants from different backgrounds—often develop autonomous artistic responses through collective exploration, mentoring and dramaturgical dialogue. These individual contributions are then composed into a shared performative architecture. Direction, in my practice, is the composition of human presence, relationships, tensions and possibilities into form.

Spectators are frequently addressed through instructions, becoming active witnesses and ethical co-presences within the event. Care-based collectivity, safe spaces and pleasure are not themes within the work but conditions through which the work becomes possible. I am interested in how intensity can be held without being neutralized, how vulnerability can coexist with agency and how collective artistic processes can generate meaningful transformation.

My work is informed by performance studies, autofiction, autotheory, trauma studies, affect theory and research into ritual, transition and embodied experience. Theory functions as a companion to practice rather than its destination. The body remains my primary site of inquiry.

Across my performances and films, I return to moments of threshold: between life and death, self and other, reality and fiction, memory and forgetting, visibility and erasure. I am particularly interested in what remains unspoken, what disappears from collective narratives and how artistic processes can create spaces where these absences become perceptible.

This vision extends into spiti8 – The Home of Performance, an evolving artistic platform dedicated to creation, learning, collective experience and the exploration of performance as a way of being in the world.

At the center of my work remains a simple question:

What becomes possible when we recognize that life itself is already performing?
