“A hold-onto-your-seat, stay-gripped, whirlwind journey…unlike anything witnessed on stage to date.”– The Voice
The breakout winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production, BLKDOG brilliantly blends visceral theater and wide-ranging dance styles to invent a breathtaking movement language that unites Hip-hop, Popping, Breaking, Krump, and House. In an evocative, otherworldly landscape created with visionary stagecraft, director and choreographer Botis Seva creates an emotionally-charged performance that powerfully confronts socio-political issues and provides haunting commentary on how the youth of today navigate a world that was not built for them.
Vital and gripping, BLKDOG transcends cultural boundaries and ignites conversations on a global scale. Its ability to resonate with audiences from different backgrounds and regions is a testament to the universal themes and artistry embedded within it. Featuring a pounding score that mixes original music with spoken word, BLKDOG asks how we can find peace in a world where self-discovery can lead to self-destruction.
