French Actress (cinema / theater), singer, stage director, theater trainer and storyteller.

Mbembo (artist name of Jocelyne NZUNGA) is an actress (cinema / theater), singer, storyteller, stage director and theater speaker.

She is known for Elle est connue pour TURBULENCES (2015, Actress / Voice), L'ÎLE DE GIOVANNI (2014, French Voice), RASTA SOURIS - RASTAMOUSE (2013, French Voice), ÇA NE PEUT PAS CONTINUER COMME ÇA (2013, Actress), LE PRESSENTIMENT (2006, Actrice), TÈT GRENNÉ (2003, Actress), RÊVER (2001, Main Actress), MARIE-LINE (2000, Actrice), UNE CHANCE SUR DEUX (1998, Actress), UNE COULEUR CAFÉ (1997, Actress), PAULINE MODE D'EMPLOI (1997, Actress), COMMISSAIRE MOULIN (1996, Actress).

Active in dubbing, she is the French voice of several foreign actresses.

She made her debut at the CDN in Gennevilliers in a collective staging by Éric da Silva (an adaptation of Ibsen's "Peer Gynt"). Then, she explored the many facets of her profession by practicing for 15 years within the Collectif 12 located in Mantes-la-Jolie, without forgetting a few forays into cinema or television. For example, she has worked with directors Dominique Cabrera, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Henri Duparc, Patrice Leconte. We could see her during an episode of "Navarro" or "Commissaire Moulin". We can also hear her voice in foreign series and films that she dubs in French.
Her footsteps constantly bring her back to the set. She participated in the adventure of "Bolando king of the gypsies" staged by Cédric Brossard and she walked for a time alongside the "Cie à" on the roads of object theater with "Autour de Babel" a poetic show staged by Dorothée Saysombat and Nicolas Alline.
