The Dennis C. Moss Cultural Arts Center is delighted to present Cirque Kalabanté – Afrique En Cirque at 7 p.m. on Friday, January 17, 2025. Created by the talented Yamoussa Bangoura, this extraordinary show takes inspiration from the daily life of Guinea, bringing the vibrant culture of Africa to the stage in a dazzling display of color, movement, and sound.

Cirque Kalabanté’s performance has been named a joyful celebration of African artistry, youth, and spirit. The show features acrobats executing breathtaking, gravity-defying stunts and forming awe-inspiring human pyramids. These incredible feats are set to the contemporary rhythms of live Afro-Jazz, percussion, and the enchanting sounds of the kora, an iconic West African string instrument.
The performance is a sensory feast that transcends the stage, immersing the audience in a world where the rhythms of Africa come alive through dance, music, and daring feats of strength. The colorful costumes, dynamic staging, and pulsating energy create a kaleidoscope of sights and sounds that reflect the vitality of African youth and the timeless beauty of its traditions. This performance is not just entertainment; it’s a journey into the essence of African identity, resilience, and joy.
From jaw-dropping human pyramids to gravity-defying flips and tumbles, the acrobats of Kalabanté Productions will leave spectators on the edge of their seats, their movements perfectly synchronized with the electrifying live music that serves as the show’s heartbeat.
Cirque Kalabanté – Afrique En Cirque is recommended for all ages. Tickets for the show range from $20 to $30. Tickets may be purchased by visiting MossCenter.org, through the Moss Center Box Office in person, or by calling (786) 573-5300.
