About me

I was born in Vienna and grew up in a small village of about 500 people in the Weinviertel region of Lower Austria. It was there, already in primary school, that I first experienced the stage—and ever since, I haven’t stepped out of the spotlight.

Today, I am a proud Vienna-by-choice resident, something that has become an integral part of my identity. I have a strong passion for movement and dance, and I’m rarely seen without my bicycle.

Alongside my work in theatre, I create performance art that explores absurd, exaggerated, and alienated elements, and I regularly appear in front of the camera. I enjoy collaborating with artists from a wide range of disciplines and bringing interdisciplinary projects to life. Topics close to my heart include feminism, as well as critical engagement with privilege and queerness.
