ALL THESE FACES ARE MINE (2024)
The performance was an hour long installation type piece in which I became each of the characters one by one, interacting with the exhibition along the way. The piece meant to explore the idea of clothes as skins, with each character’s costume displayed on a podium before and after the performance.

SEARCHING FOR PIERROT (2023)
This coming-of-age play, features multiple characters and tells the story of a young boy growing up in the late 19th century. A surprising encounter with the famous sad clown of the theater, Pierrot, sets off a chain of events that leads the boy through the mimes, the freak show, and the opera. He meets a host of colorful and mysterious characters that prompt him to question what it really means to be remarkable, and what it costs.
