Synopsis

‘The past is just us in funny clothes’ Mike Tyson said once. He’s right. If you already know that during the making of a film, whilst on a motorcycle trip from the Netherlands to Ghana, you will never be able to capture and transfuse all the new impressions you encounter. What do you do? You dance. Over there. And you film the dancing. Lo and behold: the new dance film by breakdance collective 155. Narrated by Joost Prinsen.
