I am an actor, director and playwright. I work in the theatre world between the cities of Mbanza Ngungu and Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), a multifaceted, schizophrenic country, a land of friction, a battered country, just like my theatre: political theatre rooted in these cities, intimate theatre born of my stammer. A theatre I describe as “an exercise in truth in word and deed”. 
After graduating in drama from the Institut National des Arts in Kinshasa in 2011, I decided to explore other fields and, together with Christiana Tabaro, founded Collectif d’Art-d’Art. In 2012, I began my collaboration with the KVS and met the Congolese dramaturg Dieudonné Niangouna, with whom I took part in various festivals, including Connexion Kin 2012, Mantsina sur scène 2012 (Brazzaville), Connexion Kin 2013 and Theaterformen 2013 (Hanover). In 2015, I began my collaboration with Faustin Linyekula.
For several years now, I have been working on my own texts, particularly as part of “Diseurs de textes”, a project involving staged readings. With 00243 (2015), I explore a language that goes beyond language itself. My writing becomes that existential cry that sings of life beyond life. The texts 31 mai 2012 and La Poupoupète were staged in 2012 by Dieudonné Niangouna.
Alongside my writing, I have engaged in dialogue with artists from various disciplines: Christiana Tabaro, Faustin Linyekula, Laetitia Ajanohun and Adeline Rosenstein. In 2017, I received a Pro Helvetia grant to take part in a seminar for young professionals in Avignon.
Since 2016, I have been working with the Collectif d’Art-d’Art to create a trilogy centred on our personal stories, which also bears witness to the situation of artists living and working in the DRC and to the turbulent history of the Congo. The first part, Sept Mouvements Congo (SACD Prize at the Festival Impatience 2020), was first performed at the KVS in late 2018, with the support of NTGent and Connexion KZW. The second part, Géométrie de vies, a coproduction with Studios Kabako, Kaserne Basel and Les Bancs public, was presented in Marseille in June 2022 at the Les rencontres à l’échelle festival and in October 2022 at Recréatrales, and subsequently in Brazzaville, the DRC and Burundi with the support of the Institut français. Neci Padiri, created at the KVS in March 2023, received the dramaturgy award at the 30th edition of the Festival International de Théâtre expérimental du Caire, and was subsequently presented at the Dream City Festival in Tunis in the autumn of 2023 and in the SADC zone in 2024. In collaboration with Christiana Tabaro, we created Trace… at the 2024 Avignon Festival. My next creation, Je suis l’acteur de la poésie de ma mère, will be created at the KVS in the spring of 2026.
