Werewere Liking (b.1950, Cameroon) is a writer, playwright and performer based in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. She established the Ki-Yi Mbock theatre troupe in 1980 and founded the Ki-Yi village in 1985 for the artistic education of young people.

Performances by Ki-Yi Mbock include music and ritual, often using marionettes. This is consistent with Werewere Liking’s pan-African aesthetic, lyrical language and reinvention of ritual, and her use of avant-garde techniques. Her novel Elle sera de jaspe et de corail is a song-novel recounted by a misovire (a post-gender being) in writing a journal on nine themes.

She received a Prince Claus Award in 2000 for her outstanding and successful contributions to culture and society, and the Noma Award in 2005 for her book La mémoire amputée.[1]
