Afrique en Cirque
Roll up, roll up for an indescribable display of acrobatics, artistry and Afro-jazz rhythms in a joyous circus show inspired by daily life in Guinea.
Filled with colour and energy that bursts from its scenery, costumes and staging, this performance created by Yamoussa Bangoura celebrates the beauty, vitality and artistry of African culture.
Showing off strength and joy in abundance, acrobats execute gravity-defying moves and mind-blowing human pyramids, all to the vibrant sounds of Afro-jazz, percussion and kora.
