Faisal Muhammadu & Jean Luc Niyonshimye

Faisal Muhammadu delves into the world of amnesia and trauma, exploring the psychological impact on our minds and the struggle to restore balance. Based on real-life experiences, Muhammadu provides a look at the internal workings of the psyche. We follow a young man’s journey through the labyrinth of his thoughts.

With this Work In Progress, Faisal Muhammadu translates his first own text to the stage. In 2020, he started among the new players. He combined this preliminary training with auditions and theater experiences at kunstZ (including ‘Welkomstfeest’, directed by Corinne Heyrman – 2016 / “Layla and Majnun,” directed by Aïcha Cissé – 2021 / “We Are A Bird Now,” directed by Karolien Verlinden – 2022) Madam Fortuna (‘Zot Van Liefde’ and “Circle of Life” – 2023). He was cast for a role in Jaouad Alloul’s play “Venus in Libra” (2022 – 2023) and a role in Charlotte De Cort’s short film “UNGODLY” (2023).
