Who am I, who is someone else and how are all of us together? Why can’t I play with you but the other person can? Using movement elements from hip-hop, three dancers show how it is to meet someone else. The dance develops from daily gestures, such as shaking someone's hand, incidentally presenting the origins of its genre. But not, of course, without letting the audience try this out for itself. Everything is more fun together – hurray!
The theater company FRONTAAL PRODUCTIE approached the Amsterdam dance company DON'T HIT MAMA with the goal of making hip-hop accessible to a young audience as an inspiring form of dance. HIP HOP HURRAY uses music, animation and humor to focus on the characteristic values of the genre and how it can influence social interactions.
