Kettly Noël is a choreographer, dancer and actress. She is a multidisciplinary Haitian artist and a leading figure in contemporary dance. International audiences discovered her in Abderrahmane Sissako’s film Timbuktu (2014), where her performance as Zabou became iconic. For over 25 years, she has been developing artistic platforms across Africa, Haiti, and the Caribbean. She is the founder of the choreographic center Donko Seko in Mali, PAPLAB, and KN Dance Project, and the initiator of the festivals Dense Bamako Danse and Caribbean Dance Platform. Her work combines creation, transmission, and social engagement, providing young artists access to major international stages. Her recent piece, NOIR SERRÉ, presented in June 2024 at Paris Dance Project, examines the historical memory of the debt imposed on Haiti and its contemporary consequences.
