Mamadou Wagué

Mamadou Wagué is a Franco-Malian dancer, performer and choreographer based in Brussels. Parallel to his university studies, he cultivated his interest in dance at the Centre de formation de danse de Cergy. He continued his studies at L'Institut de formation professionnelle Rick Odums in Paris before joining P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels. He is interested in movement and dance as vectors of intentional messages capable of constructing narratives translated from singular experiences.

He gives shape to intentional expression, defined by its own unclassifiable languages, enabling the telling of personal stories and the exchange of ideas from new perspectives. He wishes to direct his practice towards creating spaces where fantasy invokes an environment conducive to the resonance of emotions linked to current experiences, without forgetting the history that led to them. Worries and wishes, losses and celebrations, manifest themselves in these conversational spaces.

Mamadou began his career as a dancer with Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s company, Rosas. With the company, he performed in productions such as Drumming and the Dark Red Project. More recently, he collaborated with Jan Martens on Voice Noise (2024) and on Stanley Ollivier's Spine of Desire: Wounds without Tears, Out of One Skin in Diamonds and Shit (2025) with Lily Brieu Nguyen.

In addition to participating in the work of other choreographers, Mamadou has begun his own choreographic work with the project Where shall I start, As if you didn't know (working title).
