Grand Luxe Hall, Western Front

 Time:

Description:

In Why Banana?, Anna Banana reflects on the persona she’s cultivated over ten years. Through this performance, she reflects on her adopted name, which often prompts others to question her choices while neglecting the oddities in their own lives and the world around them. The work presents a montage of unquestioned, contemporary lifestyles to challenge viewers' perceptions of what is truly absurd.
