In 2004, she founded together with fellow actors Christos Passalis and Yorgos Valais the blitz theatre group. Since then, she co-directed, co-written and acted in all of the group's performances in Athens and across Europe: Motherland (Bios theatre, Athens), Joy Division (Bios theatre, Athens), New Order (Bios theatre, Athens), Faust (National Theatre of Greece), Katerini (Athens and Epidaurus Festival), Guns! Guns! Guns! (National Theatre of Greece), Cinemascope (Athens and Epidaurus Festival and Bios theatre, Athens), Galaxy (Michalis Cacoyannis Institute, Athens & Schaubuhne, Berlin), Don Quixote (Athens & Epidaurus Festival), Late Night (Onassis Cultural Center and La Filature), Vanya - Ten years After (Technis theatre in co-production with La Comédie de Reims and Théâtre Dijon-Bourgogne), 6am How To Disappear Completely (Onassis Cultural Center in co-production with Sao Luiz Teatro Municipal, Lisbon, La Filature, La Comédie De Reims, Théâtre De La Ville - Paris, Nouveau Théâtre De Montreuil, Ligne Directe - Paris and Festival d' Avignon). One of the most celebrated Greek theatre ensembles, the blitz theatre group define their basic principles as following: "theatre is a field where people meet each other and exchange ideas in the most essential way, not a field for virtuosity and ready made truths. There is a need for answers to what society asks from art today and what theatrical structures stand for in the dawn of the 21th century. All members are equal throughout conception, writing, direction and dramaturgy process, everything is under doubt, there is nothing to be taken for granted, neither in theatre nor in life."
