THE DISCOVERY

New Uppercut break


The Discovery is about a young bespectacled boy named Albert. One day, the unthinkable happens – Albert’s dad kicks him out. This marks the start of a journey of discovery, where Albert meets apes, poker players, and the love of his life. Along the way, he discovers what it takes to stand on his own two legs and dance on his own two feet. If the world hates your hat, show the world all the head spins you can do with it.

The Discovery is told through the creative and crazy dance style that Uppercut’s dancers have developed through many years of cooperation. For the final finishing touch, Uppercut has flown one of the world’s best break dancers, Ducky (Duck Hyun Kim), in from Korea to tie the choreography together.

Seen in the press:

”...an explosion of kick-ass break dance moves, wild stunts, and show dance...”
Vibeke Wern, the Swedish magazine “Danstidningen”

”...The audience laughs and gasps in envy when dancers walk on their hands in unexpected directions, and when their backs bend the wrong way. This is a lot of dance for your money. And when the boys battle, impossible to decide who’s best...”
Anne Middelboe Christensen, Børneteateravisen.
