From the
history and evolution, to the struggles and inspirations of b-boying,
Enter The Shadow is an
adventure through the streets, demonstrating the ability of b-boys to challenge social issues and
connect people through the power and language of dance.
Enter The Shadow is a collaboration between Break it Down and playwright
Ins Choi, whose
previous work, Kim’s Convenience, won the 2011
Toronto Fringe New Play Contest. The production
features choreography by Break it Down’s Co-Artistic Directors,
Jon 'Drops' Reid and
Lee 'Lethal'
Pham, as performed by Canada’s
Supernaturalz Crew, Sound Design by Juno Award-winner,
Dave‘DJ Serious’ Yan, and Projection Design by
Andrew Chung, creator of the new TV Series
Millions.
Inspired by the 1954 film
Seven Samurai,
Klorofyl explores the dynamics of a fallen tribe and its
struggle to reemerge united. With an inimitable combination of dance genres from house and hip hop
to jazz and contemporary,
Klorofyl’s warriors are much like the dancers on stage in their own
struggle to challenge established dance formats.
