She is an actress, director, dancer and teacher of Argentine tango. She graduated from the Russian Academy of Theater Arts in Moscow GITIS. Immediately after the academy, she performed in Moscow theaters. After moving to Prague, she presented several programs on Radio Free Europe in the cultural section.

She was later enchanted by Argentine tango and went to Buenos Aires for a while to delve into its principles in Rodolfo Dinzel's studio. In tango, she found direct parallels with the acting system she studied in Moscow. After returning to Prague, she founded the Marianna Arzumanová Theater, in which she writes and directs original plays and teaches acting education according to the Stanislavský method. Most of the actors performing in her theater were taught personally by Marianna.
