Afrique en Cirque at Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre

A dynamic performance of acrobatics, artistry and Afro-jazz rhythms celebrating Guinean culture. A handful of daring acrobats, accompanied by their musicians, perform gravity defying moves to the pulsating rhythm of the djembes of Guinea with their authentic choreography and acrobatics that represent the coming and goings of local Guineans and daily life. Symbolising the strength, agility and joy of contemporary African youth culture, Afrique en Cirque puts powerful storytelling at the heart of the circus.
