About

Originally from Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, it is thanks to slam and rap that Kimya is passionate about the stage. Through his poetry, he builds a universe where life, dreams and thirst to build a universe of peace and escape are articulated. Winner of the 2016 edition of Rond Point, semi-finalist at the Festival International de la Chanson de Granby in 2017, he launched his first EP Gold & Flame the same year and won the 2019 Trille Or award in the discovery category.

This event will be presented in FRENCH only.

Organizer

National Arts Centre

The National Arts Centre raised its curtains for the first time in 1969. A bilingual, multi-disciplinary home for Canada’s most creative artists, the NAC strives to be artistically adventurous in each of its programming streams — the NAC Orchestra, Dance, English Theatre, French Theatre, Indigenous Theatre and NAC Presents. The Centre’s national role is reflected in its motto: “Canada is our Stage.” The NAC collaborates with artists and arts organizations across the country, acts as a catalyst for performance; invests in ambitious new works by artists and arts organizations nation-wide; and nurtures the next generation of audiences and artists from across Canada. Situated on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe nation, the NAC is accessible and welcoming to all, and offers a variety of free programming and events.
