I am an actress and stand-up comedian.
Born in 1983 in Venice, I studied theatre at the PAOLO GRASSI Drama School in Milan, graduating in 2009, and earned a degree in Philosophy from Ca’ Foscari University of Venice in 2006. I later completed a Master’s program at the Académie des Arts du Spectacle in Paris (2009) and specialized in actor training with Theodor Terzopoulos in Athens (2014). I also attended a workshop with Rodrigo Garcia at the Venice Theatre Biennale in 2013.
For cinema, I acted in Olivier Assayas’s film presented at the Venice Festival (2013) and worked with Ivano De Matteo. On Italian television, I have performed in comedy roles for several programs, including Comedy Central, Rai 2, MTV, and La7.
I have performed with renowned directors, including J. Claude Penchenat (Cartoucherie, Paris), A. R. Shammah (Franco Parenti Theatre, Milan), Federica Santambrogio (San Carlo, Genoa), M. Sorrentino (CRT Theatre, Milan), Serena Sinigaglia (Piccolo Teatro, Milan), Rodrigo Garcia (Venice Biennale), Andrea De Rosa (Emilia Romagna Theatre), and Mattia Torre (Ambra Jovinelli Theatre, Rome).
I specialized in Commedia dell’arte with C. Boso and E. Gonzales, performing with masks. In 2011, I traveled to Brazil to represent Italy, performing Il Bugiardo by Carlo Goldoni. I have also worked extensively in lyrical theatre (Teatro Sociale di Como), acting alongside live music and orchestras, and directed my first opera.
In recent years, I have been active as a stand-up comedian, writing and performing my own plays. After COVID, I gained a strong presence on social media, becoming an influencer advocating for women’s and LGBT rights.
