North American Premiere of "FA" by Amoukanama Circus from Guinea (FREE)
Company:
Amoukanama
The Guinean troupe — nine acrobats, dancers, and musicians — perform FA, their moving, personal story migration and the quest for education and opportunity that brought them from the streets of Conakry to Europe and beyond. A collaboration between the performers and artistic director Anthony Weiss, FA is part of PS21 PATHWAYS and will be copresented with the Town of Chatham on Crellin Park Day. The performance is free, to encourage broad-based community attendance.
Amoukanama (“What doesn’t break persists” in the Susu language of Guinea, Mali, and Sierra Leone) wowed audiences at America’s Got Talent in 2022 and continues to delight crowds at home and on tour throughout Europe. The company, founded in 2016 by Belgian bioengineer and equestrian turned circus artist Nathalie Vandenabeele and self-taught Guinean acrobat Alseny Sacko, perform with acrobats Mamadou Lamarana Bah, Ibrahima Sory Bangoura, Mohamed Bangoura, Tidjane Bangoura, Ibrahima Sory Camara, Facinet Camara, and Panival Soumah, with guidance from Anthony Weiss and assistant director Dolores Calvi.
