Cirque Mandingue: Fote Fore opens the Roundhouse’s CircusFest 2012.  Cirque Mandingue is a trailblazing Guinean circus troupe who mix high-energy acrobatics and street dance set against a backdrop of live West African drumming and hip hop beats.

Cirque Mandingue: Foté Foré features an amazing ensemble of performers blending traditional and contemporary circus, dance and music to bring the Guinean streets to the stage in this high octane show.

Cirque Mandingue was formed in 2009 by French artistic director Luc Richard and a collective of 12 Guinean circus artists. It is both a school and a company and funds generated by the international tour of Fote Fore will go back to the school in Guinea.
