Sustained by twenty-five years of passion and creation — from the asphalt to the stage — Pockemon Crew retraces the vibrant history of hip hop in a captivating performance.
Since its birth on the streets of New York in the 1970s, this cultural and artistic movement has profoundly shaped generations and left a lasting mark on collective imagination.
De la Rue aux Jeux celebrates this unique epic journey, where styles intersect, dance evolves, and the founding values of hip hop — respect, perseverance, self-improvement, and open-mindedness — emerge as a universal message.
Through cinematic staging, Pockemon Crew highlights the history of breakdance within a dynamic and powerfully rhythmic narrative.
Drawing on the extraordinary trajectory of Pockemon Crew — the most successful breakdance company in the world — Riyad Fghani retraces the path of an entire discipline forged by and within the streets.
From the very beginning, the company has sought to reconcile artistic creation and competition, even though for many years it was forced to choose between the two in order to gain recognition. Over time, however, the collective transcended those limitations by developing and sharing a unique artistic language built upon exceptional technical mastery and the energy and values inherited from battle culture.
The performance merges the company’s own story with the broader history of breakdance itself — a journey that has led the discipline from urban streets to some of the world’s most prestigious theatres, and ultimately to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
