The Five & the Prophecy of Prana
In association with Dance Touring Partnership
“Injecting manga and martial arts [into hip hop] proves a masterstroke by Boy Blue.” The Guardian
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.
“A highly diverting achievement with, there is little doubta sequel already in the works” ★★★★ The Times
“A lot of fun. Projections turn the stage into frames from a Japanese comic book. Cleverly conceived and entertaining.” Evening Standard
