Fanta Turpin (2010, Matam, Conakry) was performing acrobatic tricks before she could even walk. At the age of nine, she became the first girl to join the Amoukanama circus troupe, and since then her life has revolved around acrobatics. She is in her ninth year at the Hadja Fanta Diané school, where her favourite subjects are mathematics and physics. In addition to acrobatics, she loves dancing and acting, and she recently won the school's “Miss Election”. Her dream? To become a famous acrobat and actress.
