Frock
Six striking dancers collide in an uplifting dance riot! In this quirky dance performance, playful observations of the yesteryears explode into a punkish celebration of individuality and difference. Frock is both energetic and humorous. A performance that hits you right in the heart and that makes you smile long after you’ve experienced it. All of it set to a brand new art rock soundtrack by members of the British band Moulettes.
“Frock challenges the idea of social identity and stereotypes. It invites us to see individuality behind strictly choreographed quotidian gestures and gender-defined outfits. And yet, Frock is both playful and quirky, a true celebration of different bodies.” – Adjjima Na Patalung
