Geno´s first performance took place in a street circus. She was twelve, walked on a rope , carried a white mouse on her shoulders and was scared shitless. She has been performing ever since. She was in the original production of "Taking Sides" in London, directed by Harold Pinter, in "A Tort et a Raison" with Michel Bouquet and Claude Brasseur in Paris and in "The Forest" and "Quartet" directed by Robert Wilson.
Geno has made some memorable films : Spielberg´s "Schindler´s List", Bernhard Rose´s "Immortal Beloved" and Hal Hartley´s "Flirt". She portrayed serial killers and dominatrixes , as well as nuns and doctors.
She collaborated with Jon Jost, Arto Lindsay, Joan Jonas, David Byrne, Fouad El Khoury and Nan Goldin. She was the female lead and femme fatale in the New York production "Going Under" and a Serbian-German doctor in "Love" by Vladan Nicolic.
She has just finished shooting "Cirles" directed by Srdan Golubovic, a serbian-bosnian-french-german co-production.Geno lives most of the time in Berlin Germany and travels the world.
The fundamental motivation for a movie, the ultimate and most secret aim, is this magic moment, infinite, unique, were suddenly everything makes sense. A melting point, where the character, the actress, the story becomes one and the truth of the moment hits you right in your face or punches you in the stomach.
Geno is
There is nothing else to imagine
Her truth is unique, strong, uncompromising, sensuous
And this truth will not let you go
Raoul Peck June 2006
