Sanké is a musical, acrobatic, and dance circus performance.

Sanké means “roots” in the Soussou language. Sanké is a fusion – a blend of practices, techniques, stories, music, and bodies. Sanké is an energetic collective choreography in which each performer brings their own unique technical skills to the table. Sanké is an invitation to be dazzled, the result of a collaboration between three men and three women from Guinea and Central and Latin America. Between poetry and energy, between sensitivity and humor, Sanké reimagines all the boundaries that surround us.
