Acrobats perform high-flying sequences to live drumming and song, weaving in storytelling, ritual and physical play, and the show builds to a finale about unity guided by the company's themes of trust, respect and wisdom. The troupe was founded by Guinean-born acrobat Yamoussa Bangoura, a former Cirque Éloize and Cirque du Soleil performer, and many company members are his relatives. Listed in the center's Family series, it suits school-age children who enjoy acrobatics and live music. One Sunday 3 pm performance; tickets are $30 plus fees, with reduced fees for phone or in-person purchases. ## Similar picks in New York - [Disney Pixar's Coco Live-to-Film Concert — Mayo Performing Arts Center, Morristown](https://grassyknees.com/new-york/activities/disney-pixar-s-coco-live-to-film-concert-mayo-performing-arts-center-m--listing-3d49e2f7bf6092732b73eef2) — Sat, Oct 24 · 3:00 PM · Mayo Performing Arts Center, Morristown · Paid · checked Oct 24.
