Les Ballets Africains


Founded in 1952 to serve as cultural ambassador for the Republic of Guinea, the company has toured the world—including a run on Broadway—and become known for “dazzling, high-speed footwork” (Los Angeles Times) as well as “sheer physical energy and beauty” (The New York Times). Now for the first time in its history, the ensemble presents a program featuring works by its first-ever female artistic director, Mañana Cisse. Through extraordinary demonstrations of Guinean instruments, acrobatics, and colorful costumes, Les Ballets Africains thrills audiences, combining “high-gloss finish” and “spontaneous excitement” (The Independent). This performance is appropriate for all ages. This performance will be audio-described.
