From „Blurred Lines“ to „A New Dawn“

Initiated during a digital residency at the Dutch Dance Days in 2020, „Blurred Lines“ is the brainchild of breakdancers and percussionists Redo and Dominique, director Peter Leung, and videomaker Noralie, who brought their individual expertise to the project. The result is a visually stunning and dynamic performance that blurs the lines between music, dance, and digital art.

Inspired by their own experiences of being labeled and boxed in as breakdancers and percussionists, Redo and Dominique created a unique and immersive experience that challenges traditional notions of what it means to be a percussionist or a breakdancer. The extraordinary collaboration between Redo, Dominique, and with Binkbeats, a Dutch musician, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, added for „A New Dawn“ an extra dimension to the performance, with his unique approach to creating music deconstructing and reassembling live recordings of various instruments into complex compositions.
