​​
WHAT ARE YOUR ON-SCREEN PREFERENCES?
Playing a villain or someone funny.
Both at the same time would perhaps be best.
Thriller/horror or a comedy is my dream.
WHAT ARE YOU PASSIONATE FOR?
Gaining knowledge about myself and other people,
whether through conversation, song lyrics,
theater or film - I want to see this world, shaped
by many false ideals and ideas, as clear as possible.
My perspective as a PoC, grown up in Central Europe,
differs from that of my peers. I rarely meet someone
with a similar diasporic biography. Eurocentrism, racism,
capitalism and sexism are the roots of societal problems,
so I look at my own privilege and responsibility in this.
Internalizing the resulting thoughts in my work, is my passion.
​​
WHAT IS YOUR SECRET RITUAL BEFORE A BIG LIVE PERFORMANCE?
To be honest: There is none. I try to be with myself and my stage partners as much as possible. Oh yes: My improv theater group spits over their shoulders before the show.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE?
Cats, music, movies, being unpretentious and if pretentious,
then with full belief :)
And: The atmosphere at airports.
