Cirque Kalabanté: World of Words

An unexpected stage experience where art becomes dialogue and movement a universal language, WOW - World of Words is an immersive show exploring the transmission of knowledge, the meeting of cultures, and the magic of shared respect. Between ancestral rituals and aerial innovations, WOW erases boundaries and builds bridges between tradition and modernity. Kalabanté Productions was created by Yamoussa Bangoura, a multidisciplinary artist of Guinean origin. Yamoussa’s dream was the founding of a school of circus arts, and to direct his own multidisciplinary company specializing in the African arts. The company began doing shows in Quebec, and over the years expanded to all of Canada, the USA and now performs all over the world. In 2018, Kalabanté opened their own studio and school in Montreal, where they offer classes in African dance, cirque, and drumming.
