Mas, é uma peça-performance. 21 de Setembro, Fringe Fcatory, Live Scratch Programe, Dublin. Texto e performance: Ana Mendes; voz: Ant Hampton.

The play "Self-portrait" will be presented at the Festival Absolut Fringe, Dublin, 21st September, Absolut Fringe Factory, Live Scratch Programe. It could be a police questionnaire or an health interrogatory or, even, the discourse fragmented of a machine. But it is a play. During years, I collected my personal details - since Identity number to mamographies and medical examinations and wondered what's the role that heritage plays in our life. Where were your born? What's your age? Do you have sex regularly? How many times a week? Is there any disease in your family? Which disease? Please answer the question.

The film "Birds" was selected for the Croatia One Minute Film Festival that took place from 25 to 27 of May, in POzega. Croatia is one of the most charming countries that I have ever visited. The way they discuss their own identity is very interesting - as matter of fact, they are still searching for it. The Festival is quite old (18 years) and the organization is excellent. This year the winner was an animation film, last year it was a live action film directed by Luís Antunes (PT).
