Montreal-based Tentacle Tribe will perform the UK premiere of Prism at Sadler’s Wells East this October.
Described as a hypnotic dance show that draws on hip hop and contemporary styles, it sees a quintet of 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.
Presented by Breakin’ Convention, it is choreographed by Tentacle Tribe co-founders, Québeco-Vietnamese b-girl Emmanuelle “Cleopatra” Lê Phan & Swedish b-boy “Elon Wandering Spirit” Höglund.
Prism originally premiered during the Danse Danse season in Montreal in March 2023. Tentacle Tribe are Breakin’ Convention regulars and have 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.
Prism plays at Sadler’s Wells East from Wednesday, October 8 – Saturday, October 11, 2025. Tickets here.
