She is known for breaking the fourth wall, engaging with audiences directly, and questioning traditional theatre structures.

She is a member of the acclaimed Berlin based performance collective Gob Squad, who have, over 30 years produced numerous internationally touring pieces that blur the lines between reality and fiction, performance and life.
