Show & CultureShow & CultureCircus, dance, live music: in Nimba, Guinea rises through the force of bodies and drums. Drawing on two great figures of Guinean lore, Aly Keita weaves together myth, landscape, and movement. On one side, the Nimba (N’Dimba) mask, a maternal symbol of the Baga people, associated with fertility, abundance, and protection; on the other, Mount Nimba, a UNESCO World Heritage site, home to biodiversity as exceptional as it is endangered. On stage, eight dancers and circus artists summon a striking physicality through ritual gestures, acrobatic leaps, and pulsing rhythms. For one breathless hour, the choreographer and his performers do not tell Guinea’s story – they embody it.
