In 2019, she starred in Dolores in the series “DOLORES” by Tota Alves (RTPlay) and activated the works CUT PIECE AND BAG PIECE in Instruction Pieces by Yoko Ono (Serralves 2020). As a creator, she created the shows, “(VS) POPCORN”, “Un Teknè”, (G) Dysphoria APP, co-created “One Way To Pandora” together with photographer Diogo Bessa and premiered in 2020 the Artist talk format on the process of Como Matar Mulheres Nuas (premiere in March 2022, TMP). In her creative, research and performance work, she uses her own body to explore and question the limits of the work of art, and the boundaries between fiction and reality. She is currently developing the creation ELECTRA VAI AO TECHNO with premiere on April 15, 2023 in Lisbon and replacement at Theatro Circo on September 7, 2023 The way Xana Novais has been developing her works goes through a collection of mental tests and physicists that she proposes to herself, a constant limbo between fiction and reality with extremely autobiographical details. NOTE: as she is a choreographer, on some of the pics is not her naked but the performers she convinces to get naked on stage in stead of herself.
