She has played at the Landestheater Linz, Dionysus Festival in Croatia and several fringe productions. At the Salzkammergut Festwochen she played in a one-woman show called "Iphigenie auf Kobane"; portraying various strong women with focus on the Kurdish fighters in Kobane. As a member of the M-Arts Culture Association she was part of the organizational direction of the Art Festival "Spiel", located at an organic farm in Austria. The duality of her identity, the complexity of belonging and living between different cultures has strongly influenced her artistic endeavors. The stage should be a laboratory, in which different languages, artistic disciplines and personalities continuously inspire each other.
