The Artist
Sina Gilani, known on stage as Xina, is a Canadian actor and theatre-maker based in Toronto. Their work lives at the threshold — between the ancient and the urgent, the mythic and the intimate.
Trained in classical and contemporary forms, Xina weaves Greek text with modern approaches, creating theatre that breathes like a living oracle. Gaia Theatre is their vessel.
