Biografie
In 2003 Kyoko Scholiers (°1981) graduated from Studio Herman Teirlinck and ever since worked as an actress and performance maker with De Roovers, Het Toneelhuis, Comp.Marius, Theater Antigone, HETPALEIS, BRONKS and others. She did camera work for Any Way the Wind Blows (Tom Barman), Rosie (Patrice Toye), Sextet (Eddy Terstall), Het Eiland (Jan Eelen), Monster (Jonas Govaerts / Stef Lernous), Stille Waters (Frank Van Mechelen), Code 37 (Tim Mielants), Professor T (Indra Siera), Rang 1 (Toon Slembrouck) and De hel van Tanger (Frank Van Mechelen).
With fellow artists Louis van der Waal and Maarten Westra Hoekzema she founds the collective unm. Together they created widely acclaimed location projects like Tussen hond en wolf (The Violet Hour) (2009) in which the audience is sitting in a stand mounted on a cart pulled andThe house that built us (2012) with choreographer Koen De Preter.
In the meantime, with Ruth Becquart, she creates the installation LETTER (2011), a slowly spinning merry-go-round with audio excerpts of a year-long handwritten letter conversation with people from all over the world. LETTER wins the Dioraphte prize and still tours as installation for public space until today.
Last year, Kyoko created Bastard, a comical-existential research into her alleged descent from Napoleon Bonaparte. The multimedial theatre performance was very well received by the press and toured intensively in Flanders and the Netherlands.
Misconnected, an installation with fragments of phone conversations with people who are in one way or another disconnected from society, premiered in 2017 at the rooftop of M.A.S. Museum (Antwerp). After touring through Belgium and the Netherlands for four years, Scholiers' installation of intriguing telephone boxes is now permanently exhibited at Verbeke Foundation.
Scholiers' last plays 'Boy' and 'Zone X' both premiered at Opera Ballet Vlaanderen. In 2022 Kyoko Scholiers started film studies at KASKA. Her first short film 'Coffee in Lourdes' with a.o. Jan Bijvoet (The Broken Circle Breakdown, Borgman, Peaky Blinders) and Sofie Decleir (Julie Keeps Quiet, Wil, Nowhere) is produced by A Private View (Mr. K, La nuit se traîne, Inside).
