Get ready for Montréal-based Tentacle Tribe, whose singular style blends hip-hop, martial arts,

and contemporary dance. Limbs, reality, and illusion intertwine in this not-to-be-missed

kaleidoscopic voyage like no other.

With talent to spare and an abundance of imagination, Canadian-Swedish

choreographers Emmanuelle Lê Phan and Elon Höglund deploy their ‘tentacles’ in luminous

spheres on 5 superb dancers in their new work ‘Prism’.

This quintet of multi-talented performers move between a reflective floor and movable mirror

panels that they can manipulate from different angles. Kaleidoscopically multiplied tenfold,

their bodies seamlessly unite and intermingle, in synergy with Höglund’s music. Prism opens

up a myriad of possibilities, distorting perspectives and deconstructing movement into infinite

combinations of colourful images. A dreamlike journey with a truly hypnotic effect.

About Tentacle Tribe

Drawing from their wide scope of dance experience, co–founders Emmanuelle Lê Phan and

Elon Höglund create conceptual hip–hop with a contemporary twist, while intermingling

organic influences. Tentacle Tribe’s creative alliance experiments with intricate partnering,

refined musicality and a saturated dose of physical choreography. As b-boy and b-girl, present

in the street dance community and as seasoned stage performers, the duo’s choreography

combines movement techniques that transcend style boundaries and create works that express

the embodiment of music beyond technique
