KOMMIL FOO & AMOUKANAMA CIRCUS – BENEFIETCONCERT
WOENSDAG 20 JULI VAN 20H TOT 21H30
In February 2022 the time had finally come! We received our partner from the municipality of Langemark Poelkapelle from Belgium and storyteller Rien van Meensel in Conakry to organize a project week in the Roland Pré school. As part of our three-year collaboration on global citizenship, we worked for a week with the fourth grade through circus and stories.
We are grateful to share some images from the Creation FA ! Following our first residency in Conakry in February 2021, we went out into Nature and here is the Result! 
Good news!
Amoukanama made it in the top 10 selected pictures of a photo competition organised by 4de Pijler in Belgium for local photographers.. Facinet Camara made a picture of a human tower and now we need your vote to get us to the top 3 ! The first three pictures get a prize to be spend in Guinea for our circus projects.

Thank you for your support!
Goed nieuws! Amoukanama heeft financiële steun ontvangen van de Nederlandse #Takatukafoundation om een onderwijsprogramma op te starten voor de acrobaten van Amoukanama in Guinee. Zo kunnen we nu elke dag Franse of Engelse les aanbieden en op het einde van 2021 een internationale stage organiseren met ervaren acrobatie lesgevers uit Frankrijk.
Wist je dat je online bij jouw favoriete winkels kunt shoppen en tegelijk Amoukanama steun bieden zonder meerkost?
Als je via deze link : https://www.trooper.be/nl/trooperverenigingen/amoukanama naar jouw winkel van keuze gaat, dan kun je ons financieel een duw in de rug geven door online te shoppen.
Het jaar 2020 is bijna om (oef!).. Met een hoopvol hart kijken we uit naar een nieuw jaar die we vieren met de opstart van een nieuw project door en voor Amoukanama: we bouwen aan een lokale fitness met bijhorend restaurantje. Dit om economische middelen te verwerven voor de groep (die dan gebruikt worden voor training, verzorging blessures, Franse lessen, workshops voor straatkinderen etc). Maar ook om mensen in de lokale gemeenschap uit te nodigen om te sporten en jongeren een kans te geven dit als richting in hun leven te kiezen. En daarvoor verkopen we lekkere, gezonde, Belgische producten!
And the creation continues… A big thank you to Ecole Nationale de Cirque de Châtellerault for sharing their beautiful spaces and kind welcome!
Despite the limitations of this year, we so find ways to continue working on the dream of FA !
Thank you so much Anthony Weiss for your Inspiration, Light, Motivation and pushing our buttons 😄💛
To be continued…

First of all, we want to build a professional circus school in Conakry, Guinea. To the model of the National Circus School in Montreal, we want to offer a 3 year program for students. This program aims to offer the students a possibility to grow into a professional circus artist with the space to develop their own personality and unique talents.
A big element of Amoukanama is the exchange between people. We work with people with different world views, cultures, languages, religions etc. and strive to find common ground among them. Circus is a great tool to create connection despite differences. It speaks with values of trust through movement of the body and mind.
Amoukanama also produces their own international shows. We are working on a new creation project FA, both for public space (2022) and theaters (2023). In addition, we are performing with several shows and acts already:
We are building a mobile theater with several partners to tour Guinea (and other West-African countries) and bring the arts to other neighbourhoods and villages.
Amoukanama has been founded in the hearts of many people, especially the young acrobats of Matam Conakry, Guinea. It was them who have made the seeds for this project as it is their hard work and courage who led to the origin of the acrobatics in Guinea. however, there are a few who are currently leading the project to its realization... Let us show you a little video of who the acrobats are...

This year has been really amazing so far… When we first started Amoukanama from a small room cramped with acrobats somewhere in Conakry we had so many obstacles in front of us for our dreams that we could not imagine…
