I'm from Rwanda and have lived and worked in the UK, France and Belgium. 

​

In 2014 I started working with legendary director Peter Brook and long-time collaborator Marie-Hélène Estienne. I've featured in world tours of The Prisoner, Battlefield and The Suit. In 2021-22, I'll star as Prospero in their production of The Tempest.

​

I also write, direct and produce. My production company Maliza Productions produced my one-man show Split/Mixed (text published by Aurora Metro Books) which has been receiving critical acclaim.

​

Maliza's latest production is my film Knocking On Heaven's Door, which screened at Cannes, in Boston and Dallas in 2019.

 

I have been awarded two Grants for the Arts by Arts Council England and an Arvon Grant for my writing.
