Since then she has worked regularly in both cinema and theatre, her first major role being Viviane in Catherine Corsini's Les Amoureux in 1993.

In 2018, alongside Liza Blanchard she took one of the principal roles in the staging of Anne Théron[clarification needed], created at the TNS of the play À la trace of Alexandra Badea which explores mother-daughter relations.[2] The performance, in dialogue with pre-recorded audio-visual projections, was lauded by the press.,[3] breaking down the barriers between theatre and film.[4]
