Dorothée Munyaneza

Dorothée Munyaneza is a multi-disciplinary artist using music, song, text and movement to deal with rupture as a dynamic force. Munyaneza draws from real stories seizing body, memory and our times to create a space of resonance. 

Her artistic research draws from the diversity of her cultural heritage – her extended family in Rwanda, the experience of the 14 years spent in London, her move to Paris followed by her settling in Marseille –, but more so by her appetite for encounters. Munyaneza sings since her childhood, trains at the Jonas Foundation in London, studies music and social sciences in Canterbury. She collaborated e.g. with François Verret, Radouan Mriziga, Ko Murobushi and many more. In 2013, Munyaneza founds the Kadidi company. In 2020 Dorothée Munyaneza translates “Hopelessly Devoted” by Kae Tempest. It will be staged in Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord in fall 2024.
