The Studios Kabako

The Studios Kabako organization is dedicated to the development of dance and visual theatre
in Kinshasa. It aims both at addressing artistic and aesthetic issues and at fostering professional and structural skills through research, creation and circulation.

With support from local and international partners, the Studios Kabako has presented over the past 18 months four dance works, “Spectacularly Empty” (2001), “Triptyque Sans Titre” (2002) and “Spectacularly Empty II” (2003), three works by Faustin Linyekula and “Le Sentier” (2003) by Madrice Imbujo Itoko.

Partnership has also been established with different institutions including the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (Strasbourg, France) where Faustin Linyekula is regularly conducting workshops and the Collectif 12 (Mantes-La-Jolie, France).

Contacts are also being made with the KAAY FECC dance festival (Senegal), the Kenyan-based GAARA Dance Company and the Egyptian theatre company El Warsha.
