Um die derzeit wiederkehrenden Frage vorab hier zu beantworten: Ich drehe die letzten Jahre immer öfter auch ohne meine Speziallinse, zum Beispiel in DIE HOCHZEIT, der neuen Improserie in der ARD Mediathek als eumelig treue Seele; in dem zahlreich preisgekrönten Kurzfilm NACHTGESICHTER als Junkiemutter; in dem bald erscheinenden Satirefilm REDLINE als pseudobritische Reiseleiterin durch ein Kriegsgebiet; als fiese Offizierin im 2026 erscheinenden SCIFI- ClimateFiction Kinofilm SHIMMER...Andere Rollen wiederum, wie zuletzt im Hauptcast zur ORF Serie PFLEGELEICHT als WERA, spiel ich MIT Linse (Spoiler: dafür sitz ich da im Rollstuhl in dieser Staffel :-)...Hier die Erklärung: Ich bin auf einem Auge seit einigen Jahren blind und da sich das nun in meinen Showreels immer mehr zeigt ( ich spiele eben mal mit, mal ohne meine extra angefertige Speziallinse, je nachdem was das Projekt, die Rolle und die Absprache mit Regie und Redaktion ergeben.) Es macht also beides Spass und ist möglich und ich finde es befreiend immer mehr Figuren zu spielen und auch zu sehen, die ihre Besonderheiten mitbringen. Doch DIES IST KEINE VORRAUSSETZUNG für mich! Und keine Selbstverständlichkeit !
Ausserdem kommt die Frage auf, da ich zuletzt mehrere Rollen mit mehr oder weniger starkem österreichischen Dialekt gespielt habe: Ich spiel natürlich genauso auch ohne Dialekt und zwar auf hochdeutsch! :-) Und zu guter letzt: Ja, ich habe teils türkische Wurzeln, bin jedoch was mein türkisch betrifft, erst dabei die Sprache endlich besser zu lernen, es dauert noch, ist am Werden. Teilweise kann ich es schon ins Spiel einbeziehen, mit guter Vorbereitung ist das kein Problem. Ohne Vorbereitung leider noch nicht. Nur um diese wiederkehrenden Fragen gleich vorab zu klären:-) Also für all die Fragen und Anfragen in diese Richtung... Thats it!

To answer this frequently asked question in advance:
In recent years, I have been filming more and more often without my special lens, for example in DIE HOCHZEIT, the new improv series in the ARD media library as a loyal soul; in the award-winning short film NACHTGESICHTER as a junkie mother; in the soon-to-be-released satirical film REDLINE as a pseudo-british tour guide through a war zone; as a nasty officer in the 2026 sci-fi climate fiction film SHIMMER... Other roles, such as my current role as WERA in the main cast of the ORF series PFLEGELEICHT, I play WITH a lens (spoiler: that's why I'm in a wheelchair this season :-)... Here's the explanation: I've been blind in one eye for several years, and now this is becoming more and more apparent in my showreels. I sometimes act with and sometimes without my special lens, (which was made especially for me in Switzerland), depending on the project, the role and the agreement with the director and editors. So both are fun and possible, and I find it liberating to see and play more and more characters who bring their own special qualities to the table. But THIS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT for me!
And it's not a given!

In addition, since I've recently played several roles with a more or less strong Austrian dialect, the question arises: Of course, I also play without a dialect, namely in German! :-)
And last but not least: Yes, I do have Turkish roots, but as far as my Turkish is concerned, I am only just getting to grips with the language – it's still a work in progress. I can already incorporate it into my acting to some extent, and with good preparation it's no problem. Without preparation, unfortunately not yet. So for all the questions and enquiries in this regard... That's it!
