“Street dance is now a universal, contemporary art, in my opinion, not distant to classical dance: both require a technique that exceeds bodily limitations and both transcend emotions by pushing form into something otherworldly, almost metaphysical. Hip-hop teaches us that dance is a way out, a revolution outside Schools, a medium of expression beyond imitating nature; a quasi-political kinaesthetic construct that knows no gender, an environment of complete acceptance, a conductor of aesthetic information, and a transfusion of challenges and invitations coming from the underworld where this genre was born.
Nonetheless, the show does not aim to present this world as in a documentary. Instead, it raises questions such as: who are these young people who shake up our city’s streets like that? What are they telling us? What is our role as spectators? This is a performance that both invites and challenges us to open up before something, to tune into that something...”
