BETWEEN TINY CITIES រវាងទីក្រុងតូច
Two b*boys face off in a circle amid the audience, the raw energy of b*boy battles focussed by contemporary choreography.
Choreographed by internationally renowned, Sydney hip-hop dance artist Nick Power and accompanied by the beats and sound design of Jack Prest, Between Tiny Cities រវាងទីក្រុងតូច blends the raw, wild energy of b*boy battles with skilful improvisation and choreography, offering a cross-cultural perspective on style and locality.
Dancers Erak Mith, from Phnom Penh, and Aaron Lim, from Darwin, use the rituals, movement styles and language of their shared hip-hop culture to reveal the dramatically different worlds that surround them and uncover the choreographic links that unite them.
