Afrique En Cirque celebrates the resilience and spirit of African youth through a unique fusion of traditional arts. Led by Yamoussa Bangoura, a multidisciplinary artist hailing from Guinea, Afrique En Cirque transports you to the heart of Africa, where the beat of authentic djembes from Guinea sets the stage for a transformative cultural experience. A place where the diversity of traditional African arts is illuminated and combined with the melodious sound of the Kora and the virtuosity of a modern North American Circus performance.

Immerse yourself in a world where cirque becomes a form of storytelling, where every move is a testament to the cultural legacy passed down through generations. “Afrique En Cirque” is a testament to the power of artistic expression, where the dynamism of African youth takes center stage, leaving you enchanted and inspired by the strength, agility, and joy of life embodied in this extraordinary show.

Yamoussa created Kalabanté Productions to 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 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.
