Mawunyo Agbenoo

Choreographer, dancer, circus artist and musical composer.

After working for 9 years with several French dance companies on different types of shows (musical comedy Chantons la Fontaine (2012), Cie Black Bakara, Cie Nosaj (Celly), Cie Trafic d’influence, Cie Mood – Hervé Sika, Cie Mab – Marie Vauzelle, Cie Youcef Ouali), he decided to write his own ‘one-man show’. It was during the creation of this show that music became a revelation and a necessity. So, in August 2018, he redirected his career towards musical composition. Inspired mainly by Nils Frahm, Bonobo and Max Cooper Hania Rani, he set himself the challenge of writing an EP. He sees his music as the soundtrack to a film, with worlds inviting us to embark on an odyssey about our perception of the world and our desires.

He is lucky enough to live in a place surrounded by nature, from which he draws his inspiration or retains the imprint of a feeling or emotion. Since 2020, he has been the musical director for a number of film and live performance projects. After being an associate artist at the largest concert hall in the Val d’Oise, he will release his album Formless in November 2024.
