What do molting insects, the music of Hildegard von Bingen, prehistoric miniature sculptures and makeup tutorials from the fifties have to do with each other? Seemingly nothing, but they sparked the imagination of soprano and music theatre maker Lieselot De Wilde. In her first solo creation Figurine, she explores the (self-)image of women in and beyond the arts. In doing so, she ingeniously reforges rusty expectations and tired clichés into a kaleidoscopic reflection on creation, transformation and humanity. In dialogue with a sculpture by scenographer Mirella Weingarten, and in a musical language that is as colourful as it is unique, De Wilde plays a game of moving and being moved. How do you shape yourself and your world? How do you break free from templates and patterns? And what variety of forms can emerge from that? Figurine is the artistic self-portrait of a budding maker, and an ode to freedom and pluriformity.
