Malin Franzén (SWE): Probably notes from the Greek journey 1937
Performance, 25 min (Swedish)

Ana Mendes (DEU/GRB/POR): Self-portrait
Performance 15 min
Self-portrait is a play about my identity. Over the years, I collected my personal records (medical examinations, radiographies, vaccines etc.) and considered the role that heritage plays in our lives. It could be interrogative, an inquiry, or even a manifesto against all the questionnaires that we have to answer during our lives. But it is not these things. It is just a self-portrait, perhaps an automatic self-portrait.

Amanda Selinder (SWE): Songs by Amanda
Perfomance 15 min
