My research focuses on contemporary theater and performance with a specific interest in the politics of aesthetics and theater theory. I engage with the sociopolitical dimension of theater and performance in times of neoliberalism and globalization. Specifically, I am interested in how theater starts a dialogue with the public urban space and how it resonates in a multicultural society.

I studied German literature as well as theater, film and media studies at the University of Vienna.
