During his residency at BUDA, Lennert is carrying out preliminary research and working on the script for Lobby.

Lobby will be a music theatre production about lobbying, governance and democratic decision-making. The inspiration stems from the architecture of the European Quarter in Brussels, and from the space of the ‘lobby’ itself: a place where people cross paths and talk, on the cusp of public and private, transparent and hidden. As a resident of Brussels – the lobbying capital of Europe – Lennert wants to find out more about what goes on in the corridors of the European institutions, with the ultimate aim of reimagining the lobby space through a dramatised lobby. The transformative, unifying and political power of music is a key element in this.
