“Through my performances and performative interventions, I aim to provide situations and environments where I encourage participants to overcome discomfort, to explore and transcend their comfort zone in a non-harmful way, by training and fine-tuning the muscle of attention. Playing with expectations, with double and unambiguous choices, aims to break out of the ordinary and liberate the participants of the event.”
