UNHCR

Original publication

Attributed extracts from the research record

“Congolese choreographer Fabrice Don de Dieu Bwabulamutima believes in the healing power of dance.”
“He travels with his drama and dance company to refugee camps across the Democratic Republic of the Congo, teaching people who have experienced war and violence how to overcome trauma, rebuild their self-confidence and learn to live with other people again through the medium of dance.”
“Dance touches everybody, regardless of your position of power, your age or your race,” says the 40-year-old instructor who has put his own dance career on hold. His company, Kongo Drama, has been conducting a four-month dance, drama and music programme entitled ‘Refugees on the Move’ in Inke camp, in Nord-Ubangi province, which hosts more than 16,000 refugees from the Central African Republic.”
