I am an Italian author, performer and visual artist based in Berlin. Since the start of my artistic path I have been interested in archives, documentary style and multimedia language as means to activate memory, connecting personal and collective spheres.

My stage and performative works have a strong visual and documentary character, in which performance experiences and audiovisual skills meet and contaminate each other. At the same time I have a great passion for archive materials used in artworks, of that projective dimension that create simultaneity between the past of the object, my own past and future. 

In 2007 I graduated in philosophy (bachelor degree) with a thesis on the "Function of passions and violence in Greek tragedy". The themes in which aesthetics and politics connect remain a common thread also in my artistic research, carried out alongside the work as freelance videomaker.

After my studies, I worked as assistant to the Italian-Argentinean director Marco Bechis (Garage Olimpo, 1999; Hijos, 2001) for the maintenance of archives - mainly based on the documentation of the desaparecidos tragedy in Argentina - and for dramaturgical research, which gave birth to two projects in which the memory of historical events is linked to personal experiences: the documentary film "Il sorriso del capo" (The Smile of the Leader, 2011) and the web series "Il rumore della memoria" (The Noise of Memory, 2014).

As a videomaker I frequently made videos for the stage and thus approached the world of theatre and performance. From a research on my own family history, I elaborated my first solo: "Between Me and P.". Presented at Danae Festival in 2016, it was then invited in many national and international festivals (i.e. Santarcangelo, Festival Parallèle, Short Theatre, Centrale Fies). The work is still distributed today in Italy and abroad and a new edition accessible to people with sensory disabilities is in production. The research casts light on a silent and pervasive absence, and its scenic elaboration is a chance to tell a story that speaks deeply to our individual and collective present.

Since 2016 I have developed the project "Staring Backwards", in collaboation with different artists and spaces in Milan, Bologna, Berlin, Venice. The proposal is a participatory laboratory with performative outcome, that aims at challenging the visual mass consumption of famous urban landmarks, tracing connections between movement, performative presence, gaze and urban landscape.

In 2019 I was invited by the Centre for the Humanities and Social Change and Ca' Foscari to realize the performance "Psalming", interacting with Edmund De Waal's installation "Psalm. Library of Exile" at the Ateneo Veneto in Venice.
In the same year I debuted with the solo performance EVE #1, explores our relationship with the memory of the events of the new millennium through an archive of public images and the contribution of blind people as testimonies.

From a reflection on censorship in contemporary mass communication, I created the piece "EVE #2", which was presented in Venice at the Biennale Teatro 2020 directed by Antonio Latella. The performance investigates the theme of fear (and the censorship of fear) through the telling of an autobiographical story.

From 2017 to 2020 I attended "Rhizoma / school of practices of the somatic movement in nature" led by Cinzia Delorenzi, giving support to research on the body, memory and experiences of the human being in its context of belonging and in relation to natural elements.

In Berlin I have been working on the production of my performative projects and at the same time I continued my activity as videomaker,  and collaborating as assistant researcher with my partner and choreographer Clara Federica Crescini on ecosomatic and performative projects. 

I keep developing my research and production with a specific focus on accessibility to people with disabilities, thanks to the collaboration with the performers association Al.Di.Qua. Artists. I was recently allocated funds in Italy to develop a new edition of "Between Me and P." accessible to people with sensory disabilities, which will debut in 2023.
