POWER: Still Going Strong

Maikel Walker and Junior Bosila Banya (B-Boy Junior) are two pioneers in the breakdance scene and both a true inspiration to many and to each other. Twenty-three years ago, B-Boy Junior saw Maikel dancing. There, he discovered a reflection of himself, as both are differently abled.
In this performance, they share their life stories from childhood to the present day in a powerful way. Expect the most incredible B-boy moves and energy that radiates from the stage.
Right after the show, you’ll have the opportunity to get to know Maikel and B-Boy Junior better during a Q&A session with Berlin-based dancer and choreographer Raphael Hillebrand about hip-hop culture.
