Kamanzi Yannick is a dynamic performance artist, movement choreographer, and theater director who uses art to challenge societal norms, awaken consciousness, and spark vital dialogue. Rooted in his post-memory Rwandan heritage, his work bridges generations and cultures through the language of movement, exploring identity and truth.
Trained at the Jacques Lecoq International School of Theater, Kamanzi blends tradition and modernity in his bold works. Generation 25 examines the post-genocide generation’s struggle with identity, while The Black Intore, performed at Paris’s Théâtre Chaillot, reimagines Rwanda’s warrior dances for a contemporary audience.
As an educator, Kamanzi collaborates with institutions like the Théâtre Chaillot and National Opera, offering workshops that unlock creative potential. Through his art, he connects personal and collective histories, inviting audiences to engage with the world in profound ways.
