Kalabanté Afrique en Cirque
2026-05-07 19:30 - 21:30 | Imperial Theatre, 12 King Square S., Saint John
Kalabanté Productions was created by Yamoussa Bangoura, a multidisciplinary artist of Guinean origin. Yamoussa’s long term dream was the founding of a school of circus arts, and direct his own multidisciplinary company specializing in the African arts. As the company director he develops his own shows which over the past several years have been increasingly gathering attention and recognition in the Quebec circus arts community and worldwide. Kô Ryass, and other shows such as Kumbaya, Uno, Kira Nene and Afrique en Cirque have been created and performed worldwide. Several new projects are in development for the coming years, which will continue to disseminate and promote the values of the company.
Yamoussa first became interested in the Circus Arts as a young man growing up in Conakry Guinea in the 1990’s. He studied the circus performers he saw on European TV and practiced on the beach and dirt around his home. He also studied the Nyamakala tradition of circus, practiced by the Fula people of West Africa. He eventually joined Guinea’s original circus company, Circus Baobob. with whom he toured Africa and Europe. With this company he was able to spend time in Spain and France where he honed many of the European style circus skills.
In the early 2000’s, he was recruited to come to Canada with Cirque Eloize, a Montreal based Canadian cirque company.

Their catalog, anchored by critically celebrated albums Untitled, Welcome to the Night Sky, Hello Hum, The Great Detachment and In the Land Of, occupies a distinct place in the Canadian indie rock canon, praised for its deft balance of haunting lyricism and cinematic grandeur.
In 2025, Wintersleep brings with them a promise of immersive live performances—equal parts raw emotional catharsis and meticulously constructed sonic atmospheres. Longtime fans and new listeners alike will be drawn into the band’s enveloping soundscapes, where intimate confessions collide with epic swells of sound.
