The Alliance française de Manille and SM Aura Premier, with the support of the Embassy of France, present Silence, on tourne !
And… Action!, the new performance of Hip Hop Dance World Champion Pockemon Crew on May 28, 8:00 PM at the
Samsung Hall of the SM Aura Premier.
The Pockemon
Crew returns to the Philippines
with their newest creation with 9 dancers, exploring two worlds they love: Cinema
and the origins of hip-hop movements. Silence on tourne! is also a glimpse of
their home city, Lyon , where cinema was invented by the
Lumière Brothers at the end of 19th century. The black and white cinema embellished
by this colorful dance inspires this performance.
Through
sets and costumes inspired by classical film studios, the dancers bring the
audience in a dance and musical journey with impressive physical prowess. The
show manages to convey the unifying power that made the success of American
musical choreography during the time of Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Vincente
Minnelli or Stanley Donen. It features a series of acts accompanied by a
soundtrack and a lighting stage design reminiscent of Broadway and the golden
age of Hollywood musical films.
As a
tribute to cinema and the journey towards modern times, this new creation looks
back to the origins of Hip Hop in New York
in the 40’s. Silence, on tourne ! is
a performance that lives up to the reputation of the Pockemon Crew, a company
in the constant quest for exploration and the discovery of new dimensions.
The
Pockemon Crew began in 1996-1997, when the dancers were training at the plaza
of the Lyon Opera. They performed as a professional group of break dancers for
15 years. Since then, they have won several Hip Hop Competitions at national
and international levels: the French Champion in Hip Hop dance in 2003 and
2008, the European Champion in 2004 and 2012 and the World Champion in 2003 and
2006. Today, the Pockemon Crew is a resident dance company at the Opera of
Lyon.
Silence, on tourne ! And… Action! is organized
by the Alliance française de
Manille and SM Aura Premier, with the support of the Embassy of France to the Philippines
and our official media partner, Solar News Channel. This event is part of the
yearly French cultural program, FrancoPhil, with events that include the 19th French Film Festival,
the Quatuor Parisii String Quartet concert, and the Fête de la Musique in June and the Tête d’enfant Modern Circus performance in October.
