About ME

I began my journey in Ecuador, my homeland, where I trained in various theater principles for almost three years. Later, I moved to Germany and studied acting for film and theater at the Athanor Akademie.

My time in Germany exposed me to many different forms of expression. It enriched my understanding of theater through the necessary contrasts and complementarity between Stanislavski and Meyerhold’s biomechanics, as well as through the influences of Butoh, Chubbuck, Artaud, Grotowski, Commedia dell’Arte, and many others.

In the autumn of 2022, I joined the German Ensemble of the National Theater Radu Stanca, home to the third-largest theater festival in Europe (FITS), right after Avignon. After more than seven years of consistent discipline in the performing arts, this experience opened the doors to a vast range of contrasting main roles within the theater realm of Romania.

I have performed on important stages and at renowned theater festivals, including the National Theater of Budapest (Theater Olympics), the National Theater of Bucharest (FNT), and the National Theater of Toruń in Poland (CONTACT). I have also toured across Transylvania with a mobile theater production created for Roma and Saxon minorities. In addition to my ensemble work, I continue developing my own interdisciplinary performances as a freelancer. In the first part of 2026, I will join a new theater production at the Phönix Theater in Lin

performance. Theater. Film.

“What distinguishes me as an actor is the constant search for complexity of my physical expression, inventiveness, imaginativeness, multifacetedness and absolute dedication to the profession. Important for me is a healthy and respectful environment, that’s why I signed the Fairspec KODEX of artistic morality to contribute for fair-minded future in our profession. I would be very happy to develop and challenge my passion with you, for us, the theater and society.
