About / Bio About / Bio Ada Ozdogan (1989) is a born, raised and based in Amsterdam Theatre Director graduated from the prestigious Institute of performing arts Maastricht. Her work evolves around themes as the malleability of identity and ideology. She’s fascinated by characters who struggle with being defined by their environment and society. Characters who make it their mission to refuse this prison of assumptions upon them and are fighting to escape the different kinds of gazes that haunt them. This plays out in absurd defense mechanisms and humorous situations which result in a hard laughter that fades away in an awkward silence of recognition. She also considers her work as collections of hommages to her great inspirers. As an artist she feels that we are an echo of an echo. Her work has been received as “furiously intelligent, powerful visionary, skillfully hilarious and filled with endlessly fascinating spectacles” by several Dutch critics. She has worked for many different theaters and made plays such as ‘Dubbelgangers’, ‘Grace’ and ‘The Returned’.
