What sets you apart from others? What makes you unique? Are you 'different'?
'Otherness' is an integral part of the Krump street dance style. Questions, feelings and desires around this topic are explored. Own and very personal stories are told. How does it feel to be 'different'? Is it a weakness or perhaps even a superpower? And if we could recreate ourselves right now - what would that look like? Under the choreographic direction of Niki Anjes Stalder, the Krump dancers explore these questions, with the dancers transforming into everyday superheroes on stage and entering into a dialogue with the audience through their dance.
