More Information

Inspired by daily life in Guinea, this spirited performance highlights the creativity, movement, and music of African culture. Featuring vibrant scenery, costumes, and staging — as well as plenty of audience interaction — Afrique en Cirque is an energy-filled show that will delight the entire family. 

Daredevil acrobatics, human pyramids, and lively dancing is driven by Afro-jazz, kora, and thunderous djembe drums, showcasing the strength, agility, and energy of the young African diaspora. Guinea-born Cirque Eloize and Cirque de Soleil performer Yamoussa Bangoura founded the troupe in Montreal, recruiting his extended family members to join. Cirque Kalabanté has since become the world’s premiere West African cirque company. 

This performance will last approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.
