Cirque Kalabanté

Cirque Kalabanté is a Montreal-based multidisciplinary circus company specializing in African arts, featuring energetic dance routines, inspiring music and gravity-defying acrobatics that will amaze the whole family.

Cirque Kalabanté’s show WOW (World of Words) is an unexpected stage experience where art becomes dialogue and movement a universal language. Experience the immersive show exploring the transmission of knowledge, the meeting of cultures and the magic of shared respect. Between ancestral rituals and aerial innovations, WOW (World of Words) erases boundaries and builds bridges between tradition and modernity.

Kalabanté Productions was created by Yamoussa Bangoura, a multidisciplinary artist of Guinean origin who has performed with Cirque Éloize, Cavalia and Cirque du Soleil, among other companies. Yamoussa dreamt of founding a circus school and an international show production company specializing in the African arts, a dream that was realized in 2007. The company began by performing shows in Quebec and, over the years, expanded to all of Canada, the U.S., and now all over the world. The studio/school in Montreal offers classes in African dance, cirque and drumming.

Kalabanté Productions is proud to be able to share their work, achievements and skills to inspire others and to assist with the humanitarian mission to help the Guinean community, from which Yamoussa and many of his company members come.
