Cirque Kalabanté presents Afrique en Cirque, a show by Yamoussa Bangoura inspired by daily life in Guinea. This performance shares the beauty, youth and artistry of African culture. A colorful show beyond its scenery, costumes and staging, it makes any theatre vibrate with energy and represents the strength, agility and life’s joys of young Africans. The audience will see acrobats execute gravity-defying moves and human pyramids, accompanied by the contemporary sounds of live Afro Jazz, percussion and kora. Welcome to the universe of Kalabanté Productions, and prepare for an unforgettable journey.

Kalabanté Productions was created by Yamoussa Bangoura, a multidisciplinary artist of Guinean origin. Yamoussa dreamt of founding a circus school and a production company specializing in the African arts, a dream that was realized in 2007. Kalabanté Productions is proud to be able to share their work, achievements and skills to inspire others and to assist with the humanitarian mission to help the Guinean community from which Yamoussa and many of his company members come.
