Kicking up the sand practising circus arts on the beach near his home in Conakry, Guinea in the 1990s, Yamoussa Bangoura’s dreams went far beyond his own success.
Working his way up through the finest circus companies in the world and eventually opening his own in 2007, Bangoura seized every opportunity to share his platform and learnings with the community of his West African home. Now based in Montreal as the artistic director of Kalabanté Productions, Bangoura is at the forefront in developing young African circus talent and sharing it with the world.
