Taking place at Crellin Park in celebration of Crellin Park Day, the Guinean troupe – nine acrobats, dancers, and musicians – perform FA, their moving, personal story of 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 co-presented with the Town of Chatham on Crellin Park Day.
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.
Part of our PATHWAYS programming, this performance is pay-as-you-wish to encourage broad-based community attendance and to ensure that it is accessible to all. Please consider a $25 suggested donation, as your support allows PS21 to bring leading international artists to our community for free and low-cost programs.
Working with urban youth organizations and community residents to introduce their non-western artistic concepts and practices, the Guinean Amoukanama Circus performed FA, their moving, personal story of migration and the quest for education and opportunity that brought them from the streets of Conakry to Europe and international acclaim, to over 800 attendees as part of Chatham’s Crellin Park Day, presented to community free of charge.
Amoukanama Circus is presented with the support of Villa Albertine
