Sachli Gholamalizad

Sachli Gholamalizad works in the fields of film, television, and theatre. And she is one of the KVS faces.

Sachli Gholamalizad works in the fields of film, television, and theatre. She studied Dramatic Arts at RITCS in Brussels and took acting courses with Jack Waltzer in Paris.

In 2013, she created her first show, A reason to talk, the first part of a trilogy. The production received multiple awards (Fringe First 2015, Circuit X, Roel Verniers, Shortlist Amnesty International, ...), toured widely and was received with much enthusiasm. In 2016, her second show, (Not) My Paradise, was born. 

She is one of the KVS faces, and is artist in residence at Vooruit in Ghent for the coming years. In May 2019 her third solo performance Let Us Believe in the Beginning of the Cold Season premieres at KVS and Kunstenfestivaldesarts.

Besides filming with Brian DePalma for his new movie Domino (2018), and Mijke De Jong's Layla M (2016), Sachli Gholamalizad also guest starred in (inter)national series such as Stockholm Requiem (2019), Bullets (2018), De Twaalf, Loslopend Wild (2012-2018), and she plays one of the main leads in De Bunker (2015).

She tours internationally with her plays. In previous years she performed amongst others in Toronto (Canada), Buenos Aires (FIBA), Barcelona (GREC Festival) and at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Besides her work in theatre and film, she also writes a column for MO* Magazine.
