Liesbeth Gritter

Liesbeth Gritter studied Visual Arts before she followed the Master Theatre Academy DasArts in Amsterdam. In 1999 she cofounded Kassys and became the artistic director of the company. She directed, filmed, and edited more than twenty performances, and short movies, always motivated by curiosity, annoyance, amazement, and concern about human behavioral mechanisms. The blurry line between being yourself and pretending plays a major role in her work. The Kassys style is observing, detailed, stylized, visual, hypodermic, physical, and dryly humorous. The performances of Kassys were shown from Amsterdam via Sidney to Brussels, and from Seattle via Lisbon to Frankfurt.
