In a face-to-face meeting with the artist, the concept of family, kinship and memory is composed and decomposed by leafing through a memory book, somewhere between the inability to express and the need to define oneself.

Within a strong international network, it develops innovative projects and collaborations throughout Europe, achieving major awards such as the Schweiz Award (2018) and the Anna Pancirolli Theatre Grant (2020).
