    Self-portrait is a play about Mendes identity. Over the years she collected her personal details and wondered what is the role that inheritance plays in our life. It could be a police questionanaire or a manifesto against all the interrogatories that we have to fill in over our lives. but, it isn't. It is just a Self-portrait. Perhaps, automatic.
