Info at breakinconvention.com/presents 1mm Au Dessus Du Sol (1mm above the ground) from French choreographer Yaman Okur in collaboration with Jean-Philippe Collard Neven will see the master of illusion working with a live pianist returning to his beginnings as a dancer trying to enter the ranks of society far from his dreams. Using his unique style of breaking, musicality and various props, Yaman will appear to float, levitate and seamlessly travel in front of your very eyes.
