Watch! Act! Don’t act! Be!

When my body connects with my emotions and vice versa, and I immediately use my ability to make a story, a feeling, space & time real, there is something magical about it. Interculturality has been with me all my life.
Although – there is no cultural identity, isn't it? 
I myself do not identify with any nationality, yet ethnicity often plays a role in auditions and casting calls. 
My father: Egypt, Sudan. My mother: Austria, Germany, Transylvania. I feel at home in Vienna and have been integrated into French culture and language since my youth.

My years of theatre training at the École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq in Paris sent me on a wondrous journey inside myself.
In the last decade I took the liberty of continuing this journey in several ways, be it in film or in various theater productions, music videos or in collective or  solo performances as attempts to deal with socially critical issues. 
In Vienna I obtained a state-recognised acting diploma.
Through my studies in science of theatre, film and media, as well as my master’s degree in philosophy at the Sorbonne University in Paris and the University of Vienna, I was able to deeply explore acting as well as the human soul on a spiritual level.
