This year alone, Artcirq has already performed in Paris, Mexico, Ottawa and Quebec and last year gained international acclaim with their collaborative production of Fibonacci, premiered at the Alianait Arts Festival with Cirko de Mente and Les 7 Doigts de la Main.

Productions Kalabante

Led by Artistic Director, Yamoussa Bangoura, Productions Kalabante is a multi-talented collaboration of Guinean and Francophone musicians and acrobats formed in 2007. Their music is a haunting mix of soul, jazz and traditional Guinean kora, balafon and doun doun. Yamoussa began his circus career with Circus Baobab in Guinea Conakry, then performed with Cirque Eloize from 2002 to 2006 in Canada, Europe, in China, Israel, and New Zealand. Yamoussa has performed in Igloolik, Cambridge Bay and at last year’s Alianait Arts Festival with the world premiere of Fibonacci.
