Pangaea Arts and The Trollsons present The One-Eyed Troll, a story based on a Scandinavian folktale about an evil troll that has taken over the forest. Everyone is terrified, but a young boy out looking for some firewood just might have a solution.

The 30-minute storytelling show features two storytellers (without masks) that bring these unique and comedic tales to life with music, physical comedy, and improvisation. Audience members get swept into the action and become a part of the unique storytelling style.

Pangaea Arts is an intercultural, interdisciplinary world arts organization based in Vancouver. Pangaea Arts was formed to promote cultural interaction and the exchange of ideas between diverse communities and to introduce Canadian audiences to performance traditions from around the world. Pangaea Arts creates productions that educate by participation, encouraging audiences and artists to actively investigate different cultures and ideas.

“Cirque Kalabanté Productions (Guinea/Québec) brings explosive drumming, dance routines, and bold acrobatics that display a range of African arts. With a non-stop, dizzying pace, the group delivers mind-blowing acrobatic sequences with extraordinary precision, made all the more dramatic by hypnotic percussion.” Sharonne Cohen, Montreal’s Festival International Nuits d’Afrique.

Multidisciplinary artist who started his circus training with the Guinean troupe Circus Baobab, Yamoussa Bangoura began his professional career joining the African and European tour of the show "La légende du singe tambourinaire."

After being spotted in Spain during one of the tours of the Cirque Éloize, he was recruited to be one of the creators and acrobats of the world tour of the show Nomade, from 2002 to 2007. Then, he joined in 2010 the equestrian company Cavalia for the creation of the show Odysséo and toured with them until 2012 before he could now focus on the projects of his own company Productions Kalabanté.
