Animation: “Circus and African Rhythms with Mamoudou Diallo”

An acrobatic and musical performance that awakens the senses and celebrates African culture.

Originally from Burkina Faso, Mamoudou Diallo invites you to discover a unique world where circus arts meet the living traditions of West Africa. Accompanied by music, dance, and storytelling, he presents an interactive show blending acrobatics, juggling, stilt walking, unicycling, and aerial disciplines.

Trained with Cirque du Monde, at the Fodéba Keïta Acrobatic Center in Guinea, and enriched by international tours, Mamoudou offers more than a performance—he creates a human and cultural connection. With an approach inspired by social intervention, he can also lead workshops adapted to various audiences (youth, families, schools, and community groups).

Available formats:

• Interactive show (30 to 60 minutes): acrobatic and roaming performances set to African music and dance.
• Social circus workshop: introduction to the basics of acrobatics, balance, and juggling, in a spirit of collaboration and self-confidence.
• Talk and discussion: Mamoudou shares his inspiring journey from Houndé to Montreal and discusses circus as a tool for social transformation.

🎪 An ideal activity for festivals, schools, libraries, community centers, and cultural events.
🌍 A vibrant journey between circus arts and African cultures.
