“Acting is something that chose me. Initially, I wanted to become a doctor, but now, looking back, I see that everything is as it should be. I can help people, contribute to their well-being. There is a Slovenian proverb: ‘Laughter is half one’s health,’ which I’ve noticed in myself as well. As long as you immerse yourself in difficult, complex topics that consume you, it reflects in your life. And it works the other way around too. That’s why I have the privilege of playing with people, where together we create comedic moments.”
In October 2022, we had the premiere of the play ‘Boeing Boeing’ at the Špas Theatre. It was directed by Vinko Moderndorfer, and Žiga Flajnik took charge of costumes and scenography. I had the opportunity to collaborate once again with Vesna Slapar (we previously worked together on the series ‘Mame,’ which marked my initial breakthrough into recognition while I was still a student), Jan Bučar (we collaborated on the TV series ‘Usodno vino’ and conducted several workshops for children), and Gorka Berden (we worked on the TV series ‘Sekirca v med’). Although I hadn’t collaborated with Inti Šraj and Gregor Podričnik before, I knew both of them and was aware that it was an awsome cast. Currently, we have completed 44 performances, touring cultural centers across Slovenia and performing at the Špas Theatre.”
