Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Éloize, and Cavalia alum Yamoussa Bangoura’s Cirque Kalabanté presents Afrique en Cirque. Energy, strength, agility, and joy come together in gravity-defying and awe-inspiring acts. The performance will include live Afro-jazz, percussion, and kora musical accompaniment. 

Yamoussa Bangoura is a multidisciplinary artist who began in cirque during his early years in Guinea. He studied the Nyamakala cirque tradition practiced by the Fula people of West Africa. He later joined Guinea’s original circus company, Circus Baobob, with whom he toured Africa and Europe. In the early 2000s, he relocated to Montreal after being recruited by Cirque Éloize – later joining the casts of Cirque du Soleil and Cavalia.
