Krump is a dance style that emerged in Los Angeles in the 2000s and found its way into the pop mainstream via music videos. Silent Legacy began when choreographer Maud La Pladec met the then eight-year-old Adeline Kerry Cruz, who is still considered a prodigy of the Krump dance style today. The result is a captivating dance piece about what it means to strengthen each other. In «Silent Legacy», Cruz performs alongside her mentor Jr Maddripp, a celebrity on the international Krump scene. In addition to this unequal duo, the dance evening also includes a solo by classically trained dancer Siaska Chareyre. The piece will be accompanied by the well-known French electro DJ Chloé Thévenin.
The event is suitable for ages 12 and up. Free childcare is offered for the Sunday performance. Please book in advance!
