I create, develop, construct or interpret short stories alone or in collaboration with other artists (performers, musicians).

2020, The Matches

2019. Highlights of an adaptation of “The little girl's matches” Tale by Anderson.

When once home is not welcome, and no one seems to care, what is left? But maybe the solitude of some are not invisible to all, or so we hope. A tale about hardship, loneliness, and hope.

This is a short tale about finding the strength in ourselves to overcome our inner fears.
