The production sees a quintet of talented dancers make their way around a reflective floor and movable mirrors. With the set opening up a myriad of possibilities and distorting perspectives, the production is a dreamlike, hypnotic journey. PRISM explores perception, illusion and the invisible, searching for what is hidden from words and the gaze. PRISM originally premiered during the Danse Danse season in Montreal in March 2023.
Tentacle Tribe are Breakin’ Convention regulars having performed at the Festival in London in 2014 and 2017, and as part of the wider UK and International tours in 2017, travelling with Breakin’ Convention to Luxembourg and the USA. They’re bringing the UK premiere of PRISM to Sadler’s Wells East as part of Breakin’ Convention (Wed 8 – Sat 11 Oct 2025).
Co-founders of Tentacle Tribe, Emmanuelle “Cleopatra” Lê Phan & Elon Höglund said “The creation of PRISM started from a set design idea where two walls and a reflective floor create a corner of reflections. In this corner, a dancer can be reflected up to seven times. Working with this set design was a new challenge for us and that’s why it took us almost 4 years to finally bring PRISM into the world. We are absolutely thrilled to be back at Breakin’ Convention with this production, really showcasing the evolution of our work.”
Jonzi D, Artistic Director of Breakin’ Convention, said “I’m loving the hybrid movement language of Tentacle Tribe. Roots in freestyle breaking equip the dancers with a strong technical base to explore the expansive contemporary vision of Elon and Cleopatra“
