LANGUAGE AND CULTURE

Creative Projects

Theater and literature have always united my love of languages and cultures, and I have been writing and performing from a very early age.

For me, it is always a tremendous pleasure to stand before an audience and have the privilege of entertaining, inspiring, and informing them. I am passionate about bringing culture to life and giving language its own stage.

German

Meine Liebe zu Sprachen und Kulturen findet seit jeher ihren Ausdruck in Theater und Literatur. Schon in frühester Kindheit habe ich geschrieben und auf der Bühne performt. Es ist mir eine große Freude und ein besonderes Privileg, vor einem Publikum zu stehen, es zu unterhalten, zu inspirieren und zu informieren. Mit Leidenschaft erwecke ich Kultur zum Leben und gebe der Sprache ihre ganz eigene Bühne.

MY LATEST PROJECT: BARANSULAN

Baransulan tells the story of a young man’s search for the meaning of words. On his voyage, he discovers many languages and is tempted by various ideologies and belief systems. It is when he also discovers nuance and emotion through music and dance that he finally makes sense of the world and his place in it.

Baransulan is a classic coming-of-age story that hones in on the importance of communication, not only through words, but also through music, movement, and emotion. The lyrical quality and rhythm of the spoken words in Baransulan are in constant dialogue with the music and the dance, and the union of the three gives the piece an innovative new appeal and charm.
