Daniëlle Zawadi, a writer and theater maker, shares a love affair with words – channeling soft, electric intimacy in her spoken and written works. Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo but raised in the Netherlands, Daniëlle bends language across Dutch, French, and English, capturing the fleeting moments of youth and bicultural identity. Whether daring herself to the stage in a one-woman spoken performance, or crafting literary programs at Poetry international, Daniëlle seduces her audience into her world where she explores the ephemerality of friendship and home.
