Lieselot Siddiki is an artistic jack-of-all-trades who combines several disciplines in her art practice. After studying fashion and autonomous design at KASK, she is currently completing a master’s degree in drama at KASK Ghent. Active as a player and costume designer, she strives for a form of total theater that seeks a spiritual-bodily experience, intuitive – not cerebral. Her unbridled desire for form manifests itself in creations in which music, costume and scenography are equally valid pillars.

Her penchant for multiplicity and the synergy between the performing and visual arts is characteristic of her work. During this residency, she wants to explore that synergy further. She has been brooding for several years on The Truthful, a semi-autobiographical musical performance that takes ever-changing forms. Inspiration comes from family members who tend toward devotional and extravagant forms of religion. Content pillars are god complexes and prophets, truth, drive for immortality but also charlatanry, cults and the makeable human being.

During this residency she plans to write, costume making and musical experiments (Lieselot is an amateur drummer) She will occasionally invite actors to bring these elements to life on the music studio floor.
