Power Struggle

Reaches Newcastle 

The Five & The Prophecy of Prana

Boy Blue Entertainment

  

Newcastle Northern Stage

21 & 22 October 2014

Dance Touring Partnership proudly presents The Five & the Prophecy of Prana, by Barbican Artistic Associate Boy Blue Entertainment, as part of a national tour that visits 13 UK venues, including the Northern Stage in Newcastle.

Five young troublemakers are drawn into a power struggle that has divided a secret group of warriors. Given a chance to redeem themselves in the ensuing battle to restore peace, their action-packed adventure becomes a celebration of camaraderie and the triumph of the human spirit.

Set in modern Tokyo, The Five & the Prophecy of Prana sees dazzling visuals frame a dynamic fusion of hip-hop and martial arts in an explosive tribute to manga – Japan’s popular graphic novel form.

Kenrick ‘H20’ Sandy and Michael ‘Mikey J’ Asante, the Olivier Award-winning team behind Pied Piper and choreographer and composer for the film Streetdance 3D, have worked with the monks from the Shaolin Temple Warrior School, Japanese manga artist Akio Tanaka, and award-winning video animation studio Yeast Culture, to create this electrifying show.
