‘PRISM’
A new work from Tentacle Tribe
Presented by BC Movement Arts Society
West Coast premiere
Get ready for Montréal-based Tentacle Tribe, whose singular style blends hip-hop, martial arts, and contemporary dance. Limbs, reality, and illusion intertwine in this not-to-be-missed kaleidoscopic voyage like no other.
With talent to spare and an abundance of imagination, Canadian-Swedish choreographers Emmanuelle Lê Phan and Elon Höglund deploy their ‘tentacles’ in luminous spheres on 5 superb dancers in their new work ‘Prism’.
‘Prism’ leaves no one indifferent. It is a performance feat that the artists perform for 1 hour interrupted.
This quintet of multi-talented performers move between a reflective floor and movable mirror panels that they can manipulate from different angles. Kaleidoscopically multiplied tenfold, their bodies seamlessly unite and intermingle, in synergy with Höglund’s music. Prism opens up a myriad of possibilities, distorting perspectives and deconstructing movement into infinite combinations of colourful images. A dreamlike journey with a truly hypnotic effect.
About Tentacle Tribe
Drawing from their wide scope of dance experience, co–founders Emmanuelle Lê Phan and Elon Höglund create conceptual hip–hop with a contemporary twist, while intermingling organic influences. Tentacle Tribe’s creative alliance experiments with intricate partnering, refined musicality and a saturated dose of physical choreography. As b-boy and b-girl, present in the street dance community and as seasoned stage performers, the duo’s choreography combines movement techniques that transcend style boundaries and create works that express the embodiment of music beyond technique
