Her recent work includes A BORROWED IDENTITY, latest Eran Riklis' movie (Lemon tree); French tv-series GARAGE VOICES; and she's currently starring - with the lead part of Dr. Shirin - in the highly successful tv-series FAUDA, which disrupts the clichés about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. *** She'll be back on stage in France in 2016 with the theatrical adaptation of the novel "LE 4ÈME MUR" de Sorj Chalandon (Goncourt Lycéens Award 2013), directed by Arnaud Stéphan.

The role she played in Arte movie LIMPLY, A SATURDAY MORNING (in Algerian) marked a turning point in her career. *** Her multicultural ethnic look opens up for her new horizons in the United States with the HBO/Cinemax action tv-series STRIKE BACK, season 3 (in English); and the movie THE LAND OF NOTHING (with the "David Lynch MA in Films"). She will soon be seen on screen with the leading part of the historical feature film FADHMA N'SOUMER (in Berberian). *** She started on stage, with various significant parts including ANDROMAQUE in Racine's Greek tragedy; EGLÉ in Marivaux's French classic THE DISPUTE; and Singing theatre or Operetta with PHI PHI.
