Filled with colour and energy that bursts from its scenery, costumes and staging, this performance created by Yamoussa Bangoura celebrates the beauty, vitality and artistry of African culture.

Showing off strength and joy in abundance, acrobats execute gravity-defying moves and mind-blowing human pyramids, all to the vibrant sounds of Afro-jazz, percussion and kora.

A thrilling circus show experience that is quite unlike anything else shown on the Southbank Centre's Queen Elizabeth Hall stage, Afrique en Cirque present an immersive audio-visual stage experience that combines world-class acrobatics with exciting choreography and energizing live music.
