Isabelle Kabano

Actress is a label that this career journalist has only fully accepted since 2020, after her performance in the film “Petit Pays” by Eric Barbier, adapted from the novel by Gaël Faye. This role of the young hero’s mother earned her the prize for best female performance at the Angoulême Festival. Inspired by her father, director of a theater troupe who took her on stage at the age of 8, she began to act in her childhood in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda, then appeared in films: “Sometimes in April” by Raoul Peck (2005), “Shake hands with the devil” by Roger Spottiswoode, taken from the book by Roméo Dallaire (2007) and “Opération Turquoise” by Alain Tasma (2007). She has just shot for the next film by Abderahmane Sissoko and will play the leading role in the play Les Restes Suprêmes by Dorcy Rugamba during the Triennale. Her ambition: to set up training platforms for young people passionate about the acting profession
