Cirque Kalibante, led by Guinean-born creator Yamoussa Bangoura, is a dynamic fusion of West African circus arts with live Afro-Jazz, percussion, and kora. Since founding Kalabanté Productions in 2007, the company has celebrated African culture through acrobatics, dance, and music. Bangoura, a distinguished artist who previously worked with Cirque Eloize and Cirque du Soleil, brings a global sensibility and a deeply rooted sense of storytelling to every performance. As a recipient of the Conseil des arts de Montréal’s Prix de reconnaissance en arts du cirque in 2023, Bangoura’s work with Cirque Kalibante continues to push boundaries while honoring tradition.
