This show is also presented as part of the Flynn’s MainStage Series and may have longer and/or different content.
Street dance-ish, skating-ish, martial arts-ish… get ready 4-ISH! Direct from Amsterdam,
this pulse-racing production fuses the adrenaline of extreme sports with hip-hop rhythms,
as international thrill-seekers perform daring feats. World champion skaters soar off giant
quarter-pipes with heart-stopping speed, kung fu fanatics face off in a hilarious video game
challenge, and in-line skaters with electrified wheels create a whirling light show on a pitch-black
stage. A human beat-box, live DJ, and spectacular video help these daredevils create a visual feast
that flies by at breakneck speed!
Links with studies of the physics of movement, hip-hop culture, physical education,
and self-discipline.
