Afrique en Cirque | Cirque Kalabanté

Montréal-based Cirque Kalabanté combines breathtaking acrobatics with live music played on the traditional instruments of their native Guinea, This large-scale presentation of dazzling circus showcases the diversity of African arts with traditional West African instruments from soul-stirring percussion to the enchanting sounds of the kora. The talented performers paint vivid pictures of life in Guinea from start to finish, capturing the strength, agility and joy of life held by African youth. A show for the whole family that will awaken all your senses!

Kalabanté Productions was created by Yamoussa Bangoura, a multidisciplinary artist of Guinean origin. Yamoussa’s long term dream was the founding of a school of circus arts, and direct his own multidisciplinary company specializing in the African arts. As the company director he develops his own shows which over the past several years have been increasingly gathering attention and recognition in the Quebec circus arts community and worldwide. Kô Ryass, and other shows such as Kumbaya, Uno, Kira Nene and Afrique en Cirque have been created and performed worldwide. Several new projects are in development for the coming years, which will continue to disseminate and promote the values of the company.
