If you’re looking for something fun, interactive, explosive, and even just downright breathtaking, you need to see Afrique en Cirque!
 
Originating from the rich roots of Guinea. Afrique en Cirque, a performance by KalabantĂ© Productions and director Yamoussa Bangoura, will leave you absolutely gobsmacked. Through this incredible circus performance, you will see the beauty, youth, artistry, fashion and many more elements that create West African Culture. Through this one-hour performance, you will see a rich cultural history taught through not just astonishing acrobatics, but also some genuinely incredible comedy. 
 
Through the show, you the audience, are taken on an adventure like no other. With the performers on stage, you get to see everything. From the crazy inflated prices of goods, to fishing in the night, and even some raunchy construction work, no stone is left unturned. 
 
Within all these performances, you see an incredibly talented group of men and women, who from start to end, deliver and excellence in everything from the acrobatics, dance, physical comedy, and more!
 
Beyond, each performance carried this captivating energy, pulling the crowd only further in. Around me, people participated in activity after activity, from long clapping sessions to music, throwing items, and much more that can only be described in person. 
 
As you leave this show, you will feel this immense sense of energy. Everything from the crowd to the death-defying performances, and just rich culture alone is enough to keep anyone buzzing for hours to come.
 
If you could only see one performance, then make it Afrique en Cirque!
