In 2015 she began working on a new installation\/theatrical art research that investigates the space between figurative and performing arts and installation with the application of these languages to those of participatory theater. Thus was born the cycle Su l’Umano sentire<\/em> \u2013 On the Human feeling<\/em> (theatrical installation for video and words, at FIT in 2016) declined in different chapters (in many cities in Switzerland and Italy), in the form for open spaces and with the version for closed spaces with scenic staging and wunderkammer.
