Ana Rebordão

Ana Rebordão creates staged environments in which she always plays the central figure, shifting between roles. Her latest piece, Sometimes it ends with a kiss, reflects on power relations within family structures. Through absurd, enigmatic performances, she evokes a sense of trauma and gives a sharp voice to silent female characters. The work shows women speaking to themselves beyond the noise of the world, as a game screen interrupts the stillness.
