Serge Demoulin

Serge Demoulin was born on the day of his village fair, September 10, 1966, in Waimes, in the Eastern Cantons, the land of carnival.
From a very young age, he was immersed in confetti, fanfares, and Walloon theatre, and made his first stage appearance at 14 in the parish hall in a comedy with an untranslatable title, Li baron vadrouille, in which he had a single line. Not acclaimed by critics but encouraged by his own shining star, he later took part in the end-of-year performance at Collège Saint-Remacle in Stavelot, land of the Blancs Moussis. Between carnival festivities, he went to study at the Conservatoire de Bruxelles, in the class of Pierre Laroche for Dramatic Arts and Marie-Jeanne Scohier for declamation.
In his first year, he played Romeo in Romeo and Juliet by W. Shakespeare, directed by Frédéric Dussenne, performed in the ruins of the Abbaye de Villers-la-Ville. Since then, he has performed in over a hundred productions under the direction of Claude Volter, Daniel Leveugle, Michael Delaunoy, Philippe Sireuil, Michel Kacenelenbogen, Tania Stepantchenko, and others, in the major theatres of our community. He has also directed Un ami fidèle by Jean-Pierre Dopagne, Reste avec moi by Olivier Coyette, and Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme by Molière.
He has taught at the Conservatoire de Liège in Alain-Guy Jacob’s class. In 2006, he co-wrote Le juste milieu, which was staged by Olivier Massart at the Théâtre de la Toison d’Or. He later wrote Le Carnaval des ombres, his first solo show and his first published text. The jury of the Prix de la Critique named him Best Actor of the 2008-2009 season and Best Solo Performance of the 2012-2013 season. He currently teaches Dramatic Arts at the Conservatoire de Bruxelles. While comfortable with all types of repertoire, his teaching consistently aims to develop students’ creativity.
