M. Decanis (Monsieur Decanis) was a professional actor.


He visited Cape Town in 1837 and is listed as being from the "Theatre Royal, Paris". He was presumably on his way to Mauritius when he spent a while in Cape Town, performing there on 28 February and 7 March 1837. The programme refers to a magic lantern show called A Fantasmagorie, A Fairy Dance, some other amusements by Mr J.J. de Kock and performances by an orchestra.
