Biography

Roland Mahauden (21 October 1942 – 9 November 2018) was a Belgian actor, filmmaker, and stage director. Mahauden collaborated with actress Isabelle Paternotte in 1999 to create a project called Article 27 to help poorer members of society can access cultural events under the leadership of Centres d'aide sociale and the French Community Commission (COCOF).

Beginning in 2004, Mahauden helped theatrical awareness campaigns for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, such as Tous en scène pour la paix (All on stage for peace), which highlights the problem of child soldiers in developing nations and reintegration of children into their families, and Un enfant c’est pas sorcier (A child is not a sorcerer), which highlights the problems of witchcraft accusations by churches. He showed these performances at Théâtre de Poche, which he owned up until his death.
