In 2017, she premiered the show Aüc, el So de les Esquerdes (Aüc, the Sound of Cracks), about sexual violence, with the company Les Impuxibles, and also MÀTRIA (MOTHERLAND, winner of the 2017 L’Apuntador Award of the magazine Núvol), in which she reflects on historical memory from a family perspective.
