A vibrant show by Yamoussa Bangoura, Cirque Kalabanté: Afrique en Cirque combines breathtaking acrobatics with live music played on traditional Guinean instruments.
The stage comes alive with vibrant colors, scenery, and costumes, reflecting rich African traditions and contemporary flair. Dazzling circus arts intertwine with the sounds of live Afro-Jazz music, percussion beats, and the soulful melodies of the kora, a West African string instrument.

Afrique en Cirque celebrates the strength, agility, and joy of young Africans. Get ready for an unforgettable journey with Cirque Kalabanté as you are swept away into the heart of Guinea through a mesmerizing blend of acrobatics, music, and dance.

“Kalabanté offers high-flying, jaw-dropping performances that will amaze.” —The Georgia Straight
