Mother soil

so... you knew?
by Two Flats Theatre
direction by: Line Guld Hedegaard
script by: Monika Matošević, Ronja Ritter
music by: Fe Ryder, Laura Stefan
Mother Soil is a piece of political theatre inspired by the concept and narratives of different wars throughout time. Stripped down to its core principles it serves as a metaphor for the greater picture similarly to Lessing’s “Parable of the Ring”. Using Brechtian themes and traditional storytelling, it lures the audiences into the story, making us question our own humanity.

traditional Topeng masks performance
direction by: MJ Coldiron
part of: Potpourri Festival (Turin, Italy)
Philip Radice from Atelier Teatro Fisico has hosted us to perform in Italian and English this improvised piece by the old tradition of Topeng, very popular in the kingdoms of East Java over a thousand years ago.
An art form that reminded me of Commedia dell'Arte, the show scrapped the surface of political incorrectness, but never crossing the line... we would never!

written by: Elias Canetti
direction by: Gianluca Barbadori
Marriage: a social dimension in which all people have ties of excessive attraction or repulsion and express them continuously, behind their backs or in the face.
A play on the paucity of human relations by the Nobel prize winner Elias Canetti.
The part was an emergency cover that I filled with just over a week notice.
The show was rehearsed using Grotowsky methods and brilliantly performed by the BA World Performance class 2020.

At the Amersham Arms, in the far 2019, I threw myself into stand-up comedy.
The funniest part: bringing my electric piano across Lodnon on the tube.
The comedy show was a 15 minutes piece that made use of live music played by me, along with other styles, like mime and clowning.
Depsite having lots of fun, the format of stand-up doesn't feel as good as just being humourus on stage.

The Deep
A dream play
The Deep
directed by: Rich Rusk
The Deep explored the imaginary world of a girl, who, as she was growing up, was not given the freedom to keep dreaming.
Devised by the company, The Deep was a piece of theatre genius, that keeps inspiring me. With the use of coreography, heavy sound scape, stage lights and a very agile physical company, each scene came to life surprising the audience and keeping them at the edge of their seats.
Perdono
A dream play
The Deep
directed by: Simon Hunt
PERDONO was a 11 minutes scratch piece that would then develop into the hour long solo performance "So... You Knew?", entirely devised by myself.
Developed in 2018, the piece explored the choice that a scientist had been given, once offered a well-paid job in the fossil fuel company he was working for, opposed to his own morals.

A dream play
directed by:Irina Brown
The company was led by Brown into making a physical theatre rendition of A Dream Play by Strindberg.
In the show I played several characters, the Quarantine Master being the highlight.
Performed on stilts, with fire tricks and a heavy-sweaty hazmat suit, the layers required to perform the character was one of the biggest challenges to date.

videos projects
Over lockdown I have experimented with shooting videos with stories or ideas thought about on the spot, an improvised shooting session, if you want;
Ancora and How To Get On Stilts On Your Own were filmed in a few hours with no preparation.
I also collaborated with Project48 on a short film that also had time pressure as a main feature, the movie was shot and edited in under 48 hours.
