Break the 5th Wall

Sat, 17 Oct

Built from the lived experiences of Western Sydney breaking crew Flowtality, Break the 5th Wall follows how a breaker is built through training, cyphers and battles. A layered soundscape of local pioneers, community OGs and breakbeats drives the movement through a cycle drawn from breaking and the five elements of hip hop. Open captions available for both shows.
