Serge Kakudji
As a seven-year-old, Serge Kakudji joins a children's choir in Lubumbashi, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As a teenager, he takes part in several artistic training courses, where he meets Faustin Linyekula, a choreographer from Kisangani. He then joins the cast of the play Dinozord, featured at the Festival d'Avignon in 2007, meeting the soprano Laura Claycomb, who becomes a guide and advisor to him, and the team of the KVS in Brussels, who have since then accompanied him. In 2008 and 2009, he performed in Alain Platel and Fabrizio Cassol's mercy!, with whom he is now reuniting for Fatal Blow. RB, April 2014
