Her work is heterogeneous and embraces various languages: dance, documentary theatre, text, site-specific and so on. Moreover, her creations are inspired by disciplines in the social sphere, such as history and anthropology. Her key interest in her research revolves around the desire to find an ideal format for content, to invent and construct new devices that enable the stage materialisation of the prime need, content. In short, to find her own, appropriate way of presenting what we need to say to the world.
